UN away from the Honourable _7r;lm
Tayloe's NEABSCO FURNACE,
an indented servant man named W lLLl A M
GlLL, whose dialect will very readily
discover him to be an Irishmau. He is
about 30 years of age, stout made, has a
dark complexion, wears his own bhck
hair, which is cut very short on his sore—
head, is exceeding talkutive, especially
when in liquor, which he is very fond of,
and has an exceeding sore leg, caused, ]
imagine, ctby his former intemperance.
He had on when he went away ;: ]ighlilh
coioured short cloth coat, breeches ol'the
same, and generally wore :: short blue
jacket under his coat; he stole a pair of
blue duffil breeches, and sundry other
clothes, from his fellow servants. it is
likely he has had influence enough over
some one of his acquaintances tu forge a
certisicate of his being a srecmzm, and us
such may pass where\ er he pleases. He
siprofesses to be ; complete farmer, and to
understand something of gardening,
thou rh expert at neither. If he has not
alreafiy engaged himself as a soldicr or
mariner in the bontinental service, it is
more than probable that his intention and
principles, which are nmleosthe best, may
lead him to Gwyn's island. VVhoever ap
