Run away, about the 11th of August last, a Negro man of the Mundingo country, named BRISTOL, by trade a carpenter, and marked on the left shoulder T C, 5 on top. He is supposed to be harboured either at Worcester, by a Negro named Samboe a watchman, or at Hartfield by a Negro named Cockroco. Whoever secures said Negro, and delivers him as above, shall be thankfully rewarded; but whoever can prove by whom he is harboured or employed (on conviction of the offender) [sic] if by a white person, shall receive twenty Pounds, and if person of colour, ten Pounds. THOMAS CLEMETSON.
