Baltimore, December 29, 1770.  Ten Pounds Reward.  Ran away,
last night, from the subscriber, living in Baltimore-town,
an English convict servant-man, named Jacob Silcocke, by
trade a collar and harness-maker, is about 20 years of age,
about 5 feet 7 inches high, remarkably broad shoulders . . .
[4 lines, physical description] he is very talkative when in
company, and can talk a little broken Dutch, but when he
stoops, has a stiffness in the small of his back, he is a
great player on the violin; and writes a tolerable good
hand. . . [8 lines, clothing, terms: fifty shillings if
taken within 20 miles of town, signed] Jacob Myers. . .
