RUN away from the subscriber, on the 7th of July , in Essex county, about six miles from Hobb's Hole , a Mulatto man slave named ROBIN, about 5 feet and a half high, well set, bow legged, has several noted scars on his feet and legs, one on the lower part of the calf of his right leg, that when he walks or works his foot it draws as if the leaders were cut, a very large scar on his left knee, and another in the bottom of one of his feet, has several scars in his head, his back has been well whipped, and is a carpenter and cooper by trade. As I have reason to suspect that he intends to make his escape out of the colony, I forewarn all Captains of ships, and skippers of any vessel whatsoever, from taking the said slave in, upon any pretence whatsoever; and further, I desire all masters may order their vessel to be searched upon their clearing out, in case he should be concealed. Whoever apprehends the said slave, and conveys him to me, shall have 5l. reward, if taken in the colony; and if out of the colony 10l
