TEN DOLLARS REWARD. RUN AWAY, or impressed, on Sunday evening the eleventh instant, from Thomas Skinner, No. 47, Broad-Way, a Mulatto Slave, aged twenty-four years, about 5 feet 8 inches high, a stout well made fellow, named TONY, but may call himself Anthony Frost; a Baker by trade, has a bushy thick head of hair, which he combs up very high before, in the shape of a roll; he is round faced, with part of one of his fore teeth broke out, a remarkable high breast bone, is very saucy and pert, and thinks a great deal of himself: Had on a short light coloured wilton coat, a callico jacket, and a pair long brown silk trowsers, a pair of new shoes, and a round black hat. Whoever will apprehend or secure the said Mulatto, so that the owner shall get him again, shall receive the above reward.
All masters of vessels and others are desired not to harbour or conceal said Slave at their peril, as they will be prosecuted with the utmost rigour.
August 15th, 1782.
