RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Newcastle County, in the Delaware State, on Tuesday the 1st inst. a certain ISAAC GILES, alias TOMSON, upwards of six feet high, much pitted with the smallpox: Had on took with him a light coloured cloth coat, turned up with red, a white hunting shirt, a pair of new white plush breeches, two or three country linen shirts, a blue cloth jacket belonging to me, lined with persian, and a number of other cloaths unknown, of different kinds. He is supposed to have got between 80 and a 100 dollars, mostly continental currency, which I lost early in the morning of that day he ran off, he being the first person that followed me at the time I lost the money. He took likewise Five Pounds, Six Shillings, and Three pence from one of my overseers, both which sums he promised to return. The above mentioned fellow lived some time with Doctor James Wyncoop, near Middletown, in the Delaware State, from whom he stole a number of things and made off, and lived as hostler at Newport, Newcastle County, in the Delaware State, with Mr. Isaac Allen, whom he likewise robbed. Any person that will bring to me the above described fellow, shall have the reward above mentioned, and reasonable charges, paid by DANIEL CHARLES HEATH.
