Ran away some time in August last from Thomas Betts, Esq. of
Flat-Bush, in Kings County, a Negro named Coffey.  He
understands playing on the violin, also all sorts of
husbandry work, he is a black fellow, and some-what pock-
broken, he hath thick lips, and has a scarr on one of his
leggs.  He had on when he went away a home-spun coat lin'd
with the same.
   Whoever can take up said Negro man, or secure him and
give notice to his master shall have three pounds reward, &
all reasonable charges paid.
