DENNIS HICKS.

N.B. This Fellow was advertised in the New York Papers the 5th of June and

in Newhaven the 11th of June 1759, was afterward taken up in Waterbury, and

was put into Litchfield Gaol, from thence he was brought to Belford, and

there made his escape from his master again. Those who apprehend him are

desired to secure him in Irons. He was taken up by Moses Fort, of North

Waterbury in New England. It is likely he will change his Cloaths as he did

before. The Mole above mentioned is something long.

N.B. By information he was in Morris County in the Jerseys all the Winter;

and said he would enlist in the provincial service.[3]
