Transcription: $50 REWARD. WILL BE PAID for the apprehension and confinement in Jail of my lulatto man, DAVID, who absconded on the 28th ult. He is a brick mason by trade and is well known about Town. A bright mulatto, about 5 ft. 8 or 9 inches in heighth[sic], rather stout built, about twenty years old. He is probably lurking about Town and will pass, no doubt, under the name David Cochran. All persons are warned against harboring him, as the extreme penalty of the law will be enforced against such.
