I will also assign to them £.300, on my new books, provided the accounts are not sued till they have been due one year-and I will give my bond to pay {.100 annual- ly for seven years, and make good all deficiencies to my securities, which money may be equally divided among my creditors, except my father-in-law, Mr. Shivers, who consents to be excluded, if you will give me a discharge .- This, Gentlemen, is not only giv- ing up my all, but binding myself to you for seven years-or I will sign over my old book, and account for what I have received, as above, and comply with the advertisement in the paper of the 22d of April or any other terms you please to propose that is in my power.

your next Paper, the following Description of two Sorts of Counterfeit 16/3 Jersey Bills, viz. Dates of both are December 31, 1763, and signed Richard Smith, John Johnston, and S. Skinner .- The one Sort can easily be discovered by the Letter i being left out of the Word Fifteen ; the other is extremely well done, both the Signing and Printing, and would easily deceive Persons that were not on their guard, there being no material odds except on the Back of the Bill, in the three Crowns at the bottom of the Sage Leaf .- The middle Crown in the true ones is smaller than the other two, in the false ones the three Crowns are of one Size, and the Crotchets are the sixteenth Part of an Inch wider apart than the true ones, besides this there seems to have been Pains taken to smoak and rub the Bills, so as to make them appear old, which makes the Signing appear fresher and blacker than it should do, and not of a Piece with the rest of the Bill.

FIFTEEN POUNDS REWARD. | Run-away from the subscriber, in the month of October, 1762, a Mulatto Woman Slave, named VIOLET, about 35 years of age; she is very active and rather tall. some time afterwards she was seen in company with one James Lock, somewhere on the Susquehanna, and by information was apprehended and committed to gaol, in the year 1764, in Fredericks-Town, in Ma- ryland, on suspicion of having runaway. From that gaol she was reported to have made an escape, and about two months ago, was discovered about fifteen miles from Ball-Fryer's-ferry, in Fredericks county, in Maryland aforesaid, where she had three children. Edward Bonnel, of Monmouth County, in the prov- ince of New-Jersey, was formerly her owner, and af- ter his decease she was sold by his executors to the subscriber. Any person who may take her up must secure her strictly, or she will certainly escape again, being remarkably artful. Whoever delivers her and
