Run away from the subscriber, two servant men; one named
William Mangles, an Englishman, went away in August last;
has a down-look, short brown hair, clumsey legs and feet,
about 5 feet 10 inches high; pretends to be the son of one
Mangles, merchant, in London, aged about 27 years; wears a
wig or cap:  Had on when he went away, a dark drab colour'd
jacket, new hat, a new pair of wide trowsers, new shoes and
stockings.  He plays pretty well on the common flute, and
pretends to be a sailor.
  . . . [7 lines, the other servant.]
  Whoever takes up and secures Mangles, so as his master may
have him again, shall have three pounds reward, and
reasonable charges, paid by the subscriber; or he that takes
up McAnaly, shall have forty shillings reward, paid by John
Leathes, at Francis Trumble's, on Society Hill. . .
