Fifty Pounds Reward
RUNAWAY
From the SUBSCRIBER, on Tuesday last, A NEGRO-FELLOW, named PETER, of the Guinea Country, about Twenty-Seven Years old, middle sized, well made, speaks very bad English, but is active and artful; a Cabinet-Maker by Trade, and was formerly the Property of Mr. Stephen Townsend. - The subscriber is apprehensive that he is concealed on board of some Vessel, and hereby cautions all Masters of Vessels from carrying him off, and others from harbouring him, as such Offenders may depend on being prosecuted.
The above Reward, and all reasonable Expences, shall be paid on his being delivered to me in Charles-Town.
March 20th, 1773
JOHN FISHER
N. B. If he returns, he will be forgiven.
