From the subscriber Nov 7th, Francist Best, an indented (sic) Apprentice, about 15 years of age, something thick set, round face, grey eyes, turn’d up nose, speaks low, had on when he went away, light grey full cloth coat, homespun blue and white striped woolen waistcoat, light blue plain cloth woollen trowsers and felt hat. This is to caution all persons against harbouring or employing said apprentice, as also, all Masters of Vessels are hereby cautioned against taking said apprentice on board either to transport him out of this Province or to any other part of the same, as the subscriber is determined to prosecute all such persons with the utmost rigour of the law, and any person who will bring said apprentice to his master or give certain information so that he may be obtained shall be handsomely rewarded by the subscriber. Geo Gillmore, Horton, Nov 8.
