MULATTO BOB.
RUN away from the subscriber, about ten months ago a stout Mulatto Fellow; named BOB LINDSAY; he is very artful, and sometimes changes his name; is well known in Charlestown, where he served his time to the carpenter's trade, and formerly belonged to Mr. Bourgett and Mr. Poyas. He worked at Savannah in Georgia, and has been seen lurking in Charlestown and about Georgetown since he ran away, where he passes for a free fellow, and may endeavour to go to North-Carolina. Any person taking up the said fellow, and delivering him to
the Warden of the Work-house in Charlestown, shall receive a reward of Fifty Pounds currency, and all reasonable charges, by applying to Mr. Robert Brisbane, or to the subscriber. All persons are desired not to harbour or to hire the said fellow, as they may depend upon being prosecuted for so doing.
WILLIAM BRISBANE.
