Savannah, the 17th of April, 1782. Mising from the Governor's Plantations near Town within a few days past. TWO NEGRO MEN, one named GALBA, a cooper by trade, about 30 years of age, and the other a country born sensible young fellow, about 20, a carpenter by trade. It is supposed that these Negroes have been inveigled away, or possibly have gone on board of some vessel, and secreted themselves, in hopes of getting away. A Reward of Two Guineas each will be given to any person apprehending them, and delivering them, or either of them, to the Keeper of the Work-House; and a further Reward of Ten Guineas each to any white person who will give information and evidence against and person who may have inveigle them away, or have harboured or concealed them, or either of them, to be paid on conviction of the party. And all Masters of vessels are requested to search and be very careful that no Negroes are concealed or carrie off in their vessels.
