Run away from Dr. Bern Budd, of Hanover, in Morris County, East New-Jersey, a likely well set Negroe Man, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, of a yellow Complexion: Had on when he went away, a blue Broadcloth Coat, with Tortoise-Shell Buttons, a double breasted Broadcloth Jacket, with Mohair Buttons and Leather Breeches. He took with him 3 white Shirts, a check Ditto, a snuff coloured Manchester velvet Jacket, one striped ditto, and a pair of wide Trowsers. He speaks good English, understands all Sorts of Farmer’s Work, and something of the Sea, and no Doubt will endeavour to pass for a free Negroe as he can write any Pass he thinks necessary. Whoever takes up the said Negro and confines him in any of His Majesty’s Gaols, and sends his said Master notice, so that he may have him again, or brings him to his said Master, shall receive Ten Dollars Reward, and all reasonable charges paid by Bern Budd.
N.B. All Masters of Vessels and others are forbid, on their Peril, to carry him off, or harbour him.
