Sunday night last, BENJAMIN R. PARKER, an indented apprentice to the Carpenter and Joiner's trade. Said apprentice is 16 or 17 years of age, light complected, round shoulders, and is very stubborn, after a short acquaintance. He went off with another apprentice, by the name of John Giles, who was unbound, and a native of Onslow County. When last heard from they were within 20 miles of Onslow Court-house. Benjamin worked at the printing business about 18 months, in the Journal Office, and afterwards worked with Mr. Gouldsmith, Cabinet Maker, in this place. He will probably make his way to Newbern. The above reward will be paid for his delivery to the subscriber. All persons are forbid harboring or employing him in any wise [sic], under the penalty of the law. C. J. CONEY. July 30, 1847 --- [46-tf
