SAMUEL LAVINGTON

RUN AWAY some time since, a ne-gro slave called BRISTOL, well known in the southern and middle parts of the province, as a remarkable good wheel-wright, and used to work out with a monthly ticket, but as person have a good while past harboured, entertained and em-ployed the said fellow without a ticket, by which I have lost above 30 l.
