in the commission Of more highhanded thefts, than
first aware of, to the great loss OF my neiphbor

punishment occasioned his elopement on the 10Th nj
November last; therefore deem it an imperative d.

and that he and his concealed copaitner. in guilt nav
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, i

guilty than himself have accomplished, by his arepcv
their dishonest purposes. For fear vi naccuIacy in

clothing and perhaps supply of money, the traits Of
his elonious agencies. The marks, however of thin
tyve stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority for atrocous theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence. will still show on his
back if examined His sober habits and APPARENT f.
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable ndul
gence previous to this lie has been trained from M,

much betterknown in the District, and particularly
in Alexandria, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone to market, and purchased goods for family use
From this date, if he be taken in the District or within
