RAN away from the Subscriber, living in Glocester County, a likely young Woman, named Kitty, about 20 Years of Age; she formerly was a Servant in the Governor’s Family, and is supposed to be about Williamsburg. Whoever apprehends and conveys the said Servant to me, shall have Two Pistoles Reward, besides what the Law allows.
