Run away from his bail, on the fourth of this instant, one
Edward Rubie, who took a horse, saddle and bridle with him
which were not his own; the horse is black, with a star in
his forehead, . . . [4 lines]  Said Rubie had on when he
went away, a light colour'd fly coat, a red jacket, tied
before with worsted firetting, a white demity jacket, with 3
buttons on each sleeve; he had a recommendation signed by
the neighbours, and by Elisha Basset, Esq; and had a pass in
his pocket signed by Levi Pawling, and Charles Clinton;  he
is about 5 feet 6 inches high, wears a cap, pock-mark'd,
processes to be a school-master, and writes a very fair
hand;  he has several check shirts and trowsers, plays well
on the flute, and had one in his pocket when he went away. .
. [terms, five pistoles reward, signed] Gabriel Copner, and
John Richman, in Salem County.
  N.B The horse paces fast.
