FORTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RUN away from the subscriber, on the 14th ult. Two negroes, a fellow and a lad: The fellow, whose name is CAESAR, is about 33 years of age, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, his complexion rather light, very lusty, slow in speech, and very sullen; he is a shoemaker by trade, and carried his tools off with him. The lad EDMUND is 17 or 18 years of age, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, and has a remarkable scar on the side of his temple. They took with them sundry clothes, so that I cannot pretend to describe their dress. Whoever will deliver the said Negroes to Mr. Joseph Hillyard in King William or to the subscriber, or secure them in any jail, so that I get them again, shall receive the above reward, or twenty dollars for either of them.
CAROLINE, June 18, 1778.
