Eight Dollars Reward.
RUN away from his master, a negro man named Joe, belonged once to Mr. John Gilmore, was formerly a free man, a carpenter by trade, and used to work about the town, and is generally known from his bad and deceitful behavior; he is the greatest liar and most artful negro in this province; he has for some time past been seen working in Broad-Street, and consequently may still continue about the town. Whoever delivers him to the keeper of the Sugar-house, or can give intelligence where he is concealed, shall have the above reward, on applying at No, 190, King Street; and all masters of vessels and others are hereby warned not to harbour said fellow as they weill answer it at their peril.
