Ten Pounds Reward.
ABSENTED himself from the subscriber the 25th instant, a likely slim young Negro Man, named WILLEY about six feet high, very black complexion, his dress osnabrugs and white negro cloth, and a blue great-coat; he has been patroon of a pettiauger for two years and therefore well known in Charleston, where it's thought he is; he can work a little at the shoemaker's trade and took with him some tools. The above reward will be given on his safe delivery to the Work-house, or to the subscriber in St. John parish.
All Masters of vessels and others are cautioned not to carry hi off the State.
E. BALL.
August 30th, 1786.
