Whoever takes up and secures said Negro, so as his master may have him again, shall have, if taken in the county, Five Pounds; if taken out of the county and in the State of Maryland, Seven Pounds Ten Shillings: and if out of the State the above reward, and reasonable charges, if brought home, from PETER BOND, living in Harford county, about six miles from Joppa.
