STOLEN,
FROM the side of the house, belonging to _Richard Silvester_, now the Sign of the
BROKEN POST,
_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.
