SIXTEEN DOLLARS REWARD.
Ran away, from the subscriber, living in Kent County, in the State of Maryland, on the 3d instant, a young dark Mulatto Man, named NED, about 5 feet 6 inches high, well built, and has in his forehead a large scar; the cloathing he took with him is uncertain. He knows the sawyer’s and something of the ship-carpenter’s business; he has been brought up mostly in a ship-yard, and it is likely he may want to pass as a free man, and may strive to get into the above-mentioned employments. There went away with the aforesaid Negro, an IRISH SERVANT MAN… Whoever will secure in any gaol, the aforesaid Runaways, shall have the above Reward, or Three Pounds for either of them, and if brought home, all reasonable charges, paid by
SAMUEL WALLIS.
