Reward for detention of Helen Sutherland

CHILD EXPOSED.

WHEREAS a FEMALE CHILD, apparently about six weeks old, was found exposed at Hilton, in the parish of Old Machar, on the morning of Friday the 19th ult, and that there is the strongest reason to suspect, that the said Child belongs to a Woman calling herself HELEN SUTHERLAND, who was discharged from Bridewell, with her Female Child, on the preceding day,

A REWARD OF FIVE GUINEAS

Is hereby offered, to any person who will apprehend and detain the said Helen Sutherland, or give such information respecting her, to Hugh Fullerton, Procurator Fiscal of the County of Aberdeen, as may be the means of seuring and bringing her to justice.

The said Woman is of middle stature; has brown hair, and a red spot or growth upon her right eye-lid; - Had on a coarse blue gown, when she left Bridewell.  She was sent to Bridewell from Old Deer, by a sentence of the Justices; and being a vagrant, it is probable she assumes different names, according as it suits her convenience.

Heirs of Charles & Alexander Donaldson of Hilton

HEIR AT LAW WANTED,

To the deceased Mr WILLIAM DONALDSON, who was a Partner in the Banking House of Messrs. CHILD & Co. London.

He was the son of CHARLES DONALDSON, who on the 26th June 1718, was admitted a Guild Brother of the Burgh of Aberdeen, and grandson of Alexander Donaldson, some time of Hilton, (now Turnerhall), in the parish of Ellon and county of Aberdeen.

Mr William Donaldson and his brothers and sisters having all died without issue, the descendants of the brothers and sisters of the above-mentioned Charles Donaldson, or either of them, are consequently his heirs at law; and failing them, the descendants of the brothers and sisters of Alexander Donaldson of Hilton.  If any such are now in life and can prove their relationship to either of the above-mentioned persons, they are requested to apply to William Stuart, Advocate in Aberdeen.

N.B.  It is conjectured that Alexander Donaldson of Hilton, had at one time resided in the parish of Cruden, as his son Charles was baptised there on the 25th May 1698.
