STOLEN
From Mr. James Taylor, in Howard’s Rope-Walk, near the Hermitage,
A Silver gadroon’d Salt, Weight about 2 oz. also a Pepper Box, both marked with the Letters I.T.S and the Workman’s Mark T.B.
If offered to be pawned or sold, please to stop them and the Party, and give Notice as above, and you shall have all reasonable Satisfaction.
Google tells me that a pepper-box is a type of gun, and gadrooning is a decorative motif, so I’m going to go on a limb here and assume that this man is missing two guns and not a set of salt and pepper shakers like I originally assumed.
