RUN AWAY from the subscriber about a Fortnight ago, a Negro Carpenter, named Limas, late the Property of Thomas Bennet, deceas'd; The said Negro for some Time wrought clandestinely about Town, and thereby defrauded his Master of several Sums of Money. This is therefore to forewarn all Persons, at their Peril, to employ or entertain him without a Power from his Owner. And whoever can give Intelligence of him so that he may be had again, or will bring him to the Subscriber, shall be well rewarded by
James St. John.
N.B. The said Negro is thought to be skulking about Town, or concealed at Mr. Harvey's Plantation over the Water.
