TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS Reward for securing him in any Gaol, or bringing him to
me so that I may have him again, and reasonable Charges paid by

DENNIS HICKS.

N.B. This Fellow was advertised in the New York Papers the 5th of June and
in Newhaven the 11th of June 1759, was afterward taken up in Waterbury, and
was put into Litchfield Gaol, from thence he was brought to Belford, and
there made his escape from his master again. Those who apprehend him are
desired to secure him in Irons. He was taken up by Moses Fort, of North
Waterbury in New England. It is likely he will change his Cloaths as he did
before. The Mole above mentioned is something long.

N.B. By information he was in Morris County in the Jerseys all the Winter;
and said he would enlist in the provincial service.[3]
