R U N A W A Y , TWO NEGROES, a fellow and a wench. The fellow is named PETER, country born, black, very sensible, about five feet ten inches high, has lost one of his little toes an half of one of his fore teeth, square made, a jobbing carpenter. The wench is named DAPHNE, black, country born, sensible, has one of her legs larger than the other, about five feet five or six inches high. Any person delivering said Negroes to the gaoler in Savannah shall receive three guineas for each; and I hereby offer a reward of ten guineas to any person that will prove their being harboured by a white person, and the harbourer may depend on being handled as severely as the law will permit. THOMAS CATER.
