Siah about 6 feet high and 50 years of age, of a yellow complexion, supposed to hire himself at a boatman or caulker, but is a shoe-maker by trade. Monday about 5 feet 9 inches high about 25 years of age, pretty thick, and both a cooper and sawyer by trade. Jack, a young black fellow, about 5 feet 4 inches, high, of no trade. Whoever delivers either of the said negroes to me in Charles-Town or to Mr. Barnaby Cockfeild at the said plantation, shall receive 5 l. reward for each, over and above what the law allows: But whoever will give information of either of the negroes being harboured, so that the offender may be convicted, shall have 10 l. reward.
