Run away from the Subscriber, A NEGRO FELLOW, named Apollo, a Porter and Cooper, well known in Charles-Town, lately purchased of Mr. ANDREW LORD; he is very black, strong and thick set, about Five Feet six inches high, about Twenty-five Years old, a little knock-kneed, full Face, with large Lips, and Pitted with the Small-Pox. Whoever delivers him to me at my plantation in St. John's Parish, or to the Warden of the Work-House, shall have FIVE POUNDS paid them, and all reasonable Charges; and whoever gives Information of his being harboured, so as the Fact can be proved, shall receive TEN POUNDS if by a Negro, and if by white People FIFTY POUNDS. PETER GOURDINE.
