FORTY SHILLINGS REWARD.
RUN away from the Subscriber, in Dinwiddie , on Sunday the 16th of February , a likely Virdinia born Mulatto Fellow named DICK, about thirty Years of Age, a thick well made Fellow, five Feet seven or eight inches high, with gray Eyes, short Hair curled close to his Head, a very large black Beard, and a Sore on his right Leg; he is a Shoemaker by Trade, and very handy about any other Business. He may probably attempt to pass for a Freeman, as he can read and write; he wore, or carried with him, a light coloured Duffil great Coat, a Negro Cotton double breasted short Coat, died purple Breeches of the same, a red Frieze Waistcoat lapelled, which is rather too large for him, a white Linen Shirt marked IW, a Beaver Coating short Coat, of the Pompadour Colour, but much altered, with flash Pockets, double breasted, and lined with Shalloon. He ran away about three or four Years ago, and then harboured about Mr. Harwood 's, at Wyanok ; he has a Brother belonging to Mr. David Scott or Prince George , who has been run away for a Year or two, and was several Time brought from among the Indians on Pamunkey River; they probably may make that Way together, or to Urbana , as they are both acquainted with Mr. Mills 's Negroes. I hereby forewarn all Masters of Vessels from employing the said Slave, or carrying him out of the Colony. I will give the above Reward, besides what the Law allows, to any Person that will secure him so that I may get him again.—He is outlawed.
JAMES WALKER .
