Reward Offered for Thomas Armstrong Escape After Forgery
Suspicion of forgery leads to pursuit as Thomas Armstrong fled from Darlington toward Northallerton through fields west of Yorkshire. A reward of 100 pounds is offered for his recapture and commitment to gaol, to be paid by Robert Lewin, secretary to the Bank of England. Armstrong is described as 20s-30s, 5'9" to 5'10", slender, dark brown hair, wearing a deep brown coat, scarlet waistcoat, buckskin breeches, and grey stockings. He formerly clerked for Meff Drummonds at Charing Cross and lived with his father near Newcastle upon Tyne. Additional notices warn of a bookbinder and printer who absconded from Bridgwater, suspected of stealing valuables, detailing his appearance and associated names. A separate item seeks a master for the Free Grammar School at Hungerford, Berkshire, inviting qualified applicants with support from local authorities. The Borough of Preston, Lancaster County, appears in the closing line.
