ABSENTED from the service of Thomas Martin, the 16th inst. JOE, a negro man; he is a stout well made young fellow, about five feet nine inches high, can shave and dress hair pretty well: He had on when he went away, a green cloth coat and waistcoat, and a pair of leather breeches. Whoever apprehends and brings the said negro to his master, in Hanover-square, New-York, shall receive EIGHT DOLLARS, reward.
N.B. It is requested that no person will employ the said fellow, and all masters of vessels are desired not to suffer him on board their vessels, or to carry him from this country.
If he returns voluntarily, his fault will be forgiven.
