Run away the 19th of September, sometime before day, from
William Selthridge, of Cedar Creek, in Sussex County, an
Irish servant man, named James Reily, a weaver, aged about
30 years, a pretty lusty fellow, somewhat long visaged, a
mould on one of his cheeks,  . . . [6 lines, physical
description and clothing]  he can sing well, and says he can
play on the violin, can read and write tolerably well, has
picked the lock of a little trunk, and stole his indenture,
which was assigned to me by Capt. Pardue, before three
magistrates, two of them being Mr. Kollock and Mr. Holt of
Lewestown.  Likewise another man went away along with him,
one Patrick M'Clane, an Irish man. . . [8 lines, 30
shillings reward for each, signed]  William Selthridge.
