_Newbury street_, Boston, about half an hour past one o'clock
in the morning of the 24th ult.
A Black and White Horse, with a Bridle, without a Saddle.----The
Persons concerned in this Frolick, who were seen and known,
are desired to replace the said Horse, in the manner and form
they found him. And it is hoped, as he is a young creature,
they will not corrupt his morals, by teaching him any of their
bad tricks, but return him soon, as the owner will not allow
any thing for his keeping.
N.B. If he should bite or kick any that have him in
possession; his former master now declares, he will not be
answerable for the damages.----He was not imported from
England, but manufactured in this land of liberty.
_Query._ Whether the persons who knocked at said SILVESTER'S
door, past three o'clock the same morning, in their return
home, and cried THIEVES, were not accomplices in this
_glorious_ exploit.
