RUN AWAY, On the 5th Instant September from the Subscriber at the Province Arms, in New-York, A Negro Man named Sam, well Limb’d, round faced, about 30 Years of age, but looks younger; French born, but speaks pretty good English; is a good Cook, and was lately bought of Capt. James Delaney. He had on when he went away a narrow brimmed black Hat, somewhat worn, cock’d on one side, which he commonly wore behind; a light and brown Coat, Short Shirts; a Scarlet pair of Breeches, Pewter Buckles, and black Worsted Stockings.— But he may probably change his Dress. He is well known in this City, and it is supposed is now lurking, and concealed therein. Whoever will take up and secure the said negro, so that I may get him again shall have Forty Shillings Reward, paid by GEORGE BURNS. N.B. Master of Vessels, and all other persons, are desired not to carry off, conceal or harbour the said negro, as they will answer the Penalty of the Law, in such Cases made and provided.
