Run away from his creditors one Samuel Beesely, a middle
sized man, wore his own short hair, and has lost his upper
fore teeth:  Had on, when he went away, a light coloured
coat, black cotton velvet waistcoat, and snuff coloured
cotton velvet breeches.  He sings a good song, and commonly
chearful in company.  Whoever takes him up, and secures him
in any goal, in New-Jersey or Pennsylvania, shall have three
pounds reward, upon notice given to Robert Coombes, or John
Thomson, both of Perth-Amboy.
  N.B. He was taken with two writs on the first of this
instant April, but begged leave to go to Salem, on pretence
that his brother would pay the money; but as soon as he got
to his brother's house, he made an excuse to go up stairs to
write, and immediately went off.
