Stolen from Folkestone on Wednesday night last, a brown mare, 14 hands high, very hollow-eyed, a little white speck on her forehead, two marks of old rowels behind, and a little wrung on each side by the pinions; whoever gives notice to the "Mermaid" in Canterbury, or the "Three Tuns" in Folkestone, so as the mare may be recovered again, shall receive half a Guinea reward, and reasonable charges.

Stolen or strayed out of the grounds of Mr. Baker, at Folkestone, on Monday morning last, a handsome straight brown mare, coming nine years old, 14 hands high, with a narrow white slip down her face, and the off foot white just above her pastern; with a little wen, supposed to be wring by the saddle, but not sore, on the off-shoulder, and newly docked: Whoever can give intelligence of the said mare, so as to be had again, to Benj. Webster, at the Mermaid, in Canterbury, or to John Boxer, at the "Three Tuns," in Folkestone (whose property she is), shall have all reasonable satisfaction.
