A Negro Man named Pompey, about 23 Years of Age, belonging to John Wire of Charlestown, went away on Friday Night last, from Mr. Ridgaway, Bricklayer in Boston, with whom he has labour’d the Summer past: He is a stout well set Fellow, and had on a blue under Serge Jacket, and an old patch’d one over it. Whoever shall give Intelligence of said Negro to his Master, or to Mr. Ridgaway, they shall be well rewarded.
