Samuel Ely

RUN away from Head Quarters, about the 5th instant, with the following valuable articles, the infamous, loquacious Samuel Ely, of Somers, formerly an iternerant preacher, and auctioneer of the gospel. This inhuman, plundering villain may be distinguished by his being constantly found cloathed wiht a face of brass, and armed with a lying tongue in his own vindication and defence, when most guilty. ARTICLES A number of solk and worsted hoss, one British officers coat, one gold diamond ring, one pair of breeches, (some of which he sold to the prisoners for solid coin) one gold appalet, one lawn apronm a considerable quantity of linnen, some engineers instruments, a pocket book, and many other articles too numerous to mention; all which he knew to be in direct opposition to general orders. It ia earnestly required of all committees of saftey and others in authority, in the neighbouring towns to apprehend the said Ely and convey hum to this place, or confine him so that he may be brought to justice, for which they shall receive ten dollars reward and have all necessary charges allowed them. By order of the Court of Enquiry, WILLIAM WILLIAMS President.
