The other belonging to James Boyd, named William-Cole Barnet, a middle siz'd man, red headed, but wears a Wigg; and had on, when he went away, a brown colour'd Kersey Coat, a light colour'd Kersey Jacket, green Worsted shag Breeches, grey stockings, 5 checkt Shirts, good shoes, and a good hat: They are both Englishmen and Convicts.

N.B. The above Runaways being furnish'd with money, may disguise themselves by getting other cloaths. Their masters are well assur'd that they have forged passes.
