RUNAWAY from the Subscriber, on Wed-nesday the 3rd of Oct. Instant, a NEGRO FELLOW, named JOSEPH WILLIAMS, a Taylor by Trade, five Feet six Inches high, very well known both in Town and Country:— He is a very sensible, sly, artful Fellow, and roguishly incli-ned, whereby it is probable he may attempt to pass as free : I do thereby forewarn any Person whatsoever, from harboring, entertaining, or employing said Fellow ; and also Masters of Vessels, from carrying him off the Province, as he is bound to me, by Bill of Sale, for five Years, before JOHN NEVIN, Esq. Whoever will deliver him to the Subscriber, in King-Street, shall receive a GUINEA Reward ; and if any Person can prove his being harbored by a white Person, shall receive TWENTY POUNDS Reward, if by a Negro, FIVE POUNDS;- to be paid on Conviction.
THOMAS EUSTACE.
