New-York, Printing-Office, near Burling's-Slip, in the Fly.
Five Pounds Reward, Run away, on Monday the 12th instant,
from me the subscriber, a mulatto servant man named Charles,
and known by the name of Charles Roberts, or German . . . [4
lines] He took with him two or three coats or suits, viz. a
dark bown, or chocolate colour'd cloth coat, pretty much
worn; . . . [7 items] and a fiddle. His behaviour is
excessively complaisant, obsequious and insinuating; he
speaks good English smoothly and plausibly, and generally
with a cringe and a smile; he is extremely artful, and ready
at inventing specious pretences to conceal villainous
actions or designs. He plays on the fiddle, can read and
write tolerably well, and understands a little of
arithmetick and accounts. . . [33 lines, signed] John
Holt.
