TAKEN up by the Subscriber, living in Glocester County, near the Court-House, on the 4th Day of July last, a large white Horse, neat 14 Hand high, branded on the near Buttock RB, undock’d, he trots and gallops, and appears to be about 12 Years old, and has been appraised at Five Pounds. The Owner may have him of me, on paying as the Law directs.
