RAN AWAY the 5th July instant, a negro man named JOHN, a carpenter by trade, wrought for some time past with Mr. Moncrief, is about 35 years old, sensible, and speaks very good English and French; had on when he went away, a broad striped check waistcoat and red breeches, but sometimes wears striped trowsers, is about five feet nine inches high, had a gold earing in one ear, wears his hair far down on his cheeks; was born in Jamaica and lived some years at Mobile.
Whoever delivers the said negro to the Warden of the Work-house, or to me, shall have SEVEN POUNDS reward and all reasonable charges; and any white person giving information of his being harboured, or protected, so that the person guilty thereof may be convicted according to law, shall have TEN POUNDS reward.
JOHN STUART.
