ONE hundred dollars reward. Run away from the subscriber, a likely young fellow of a yellowish complexion, named Isaac, by trade a carpenter; he had on a short brown coat, striped flannel jacket, leather breeches and woollen stockings. The above reward will be paid on delivery of said fellow to the warden of the workhouse and the same
sum on proof of his being harboured or employed by any white person or Negro. The fellow has a wife belonging to Mrs. Bellamy and a mother and brothers belonging to Dr. Chandler, and relations at Mr. Blake-Leay White’s plantation at St. John’s, but it is supposed that he is in town. If he will return to his duty immediately he shall be forgiven.
Plowden Weston.
