fellow, and delivers him to the warden of the work-house, or to Capt. Benjamin Roberts in
Charles-Town, or the subscriber, at the head of Cooper-river, shall receive a reward of five Pounds
and all reasonable charges; and whoever will give information of his being harboured by any
white person, upon conviction, shall receive a reward of twenty-five pounds, and if by a negro, ten
pounds.
