Fifty Pounds Reward.
RUN AWAY from the subscriber, and it is supposed may travel towards North-Carolina, a Negro Man, named SANDY, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, a little pitted with the small-pox, a carpenter by trade, and had on when he absconded, a blue surtout coat, Drab Coatee, Flannel Robbin, and Leather Breeches: At the same Time took away, a grey Horse about 14 hands and an half high, branded IH in one on the mounting Shoulder. I will give £5 Reward for the Horse, and as I am told SANDY has a Ticket with my Name forged thereto, I will give a further Reward of £50 to whoever shall convict the Person guilty of the Forgery.

CHARLES MOTTE.
