Monckton Park, Nov. 5, 1782. RAN away from the above farm last night, a negro man, about twenty-three years old, middle-sized, bandy or bow-legged; had on a blanket or white coarse short coat, with red cape and red buttons, an iron collar about his neck, which had been on a few days on account of his concerting with another negro to rob his master and attempt for New-York. He is fond of playing on the fiddle, which he does badly, and is a great thief, liar and drunkard: Whoever takes up the said negro man, and delivers him to the subscriber on the above farm, two miles below Bristol, on the river Delaware, shall receive Thirty Dollars reward. ROBERT M. MALCOLM.
