Also, From Samuel HANSON, a convict servant man, named Charles SKADDOCK, alias Robert DAVISON, about 20 years old, tall and slim, pock-fretten, and his nose turned up by having been broke, but poor cloathing. Whoever takes up either of the said servants and secures them in any publick goal, and gives notice to their Masters shall have three pounds Maryland money for each, and all reasonable charges, paid by Thomas GREEN, William M'ATEE, and Samuel HANSON.
