RUN away from the subscriber the 27th of January last, a negroe fellow, called PRINCE, about 21 years of age, and about 5 geet 6 inches high, rather slim made, with his country marks on his face, talks very good English and is very active; a carpenter by trade, and has been employed in the Quarter-Master-General's Department in Charlestown, likewise at Monck's Corner, but was delivered to me by orders from the said department, since which he made his escape; he had on when he went away, a short blue jacket and a pair of leather breeches; he has been seen a few days ago at the Quartermaster's yard in town. Whoever delivers the said negro to me in Charlestown, shall receive Two Guineas reward; and if on conviction of his being harboured by a white person Four Guineas, if by a negro Three Guineas.
SAMUEL BAAS,
No. 35, on the Bay.
March 17, 1781.
