ON June the 8th was delivered up to my charge a Negro Man,
who speaks only French, of about five feet four inches high, he
is a tolerable well made negro, and appears to be very handy.
This negro was hired on the Levee by a certain John Louis Galle,
an inhabitant of the Fourche, on the 1st of the said month, as
appears by his declaration on oath made before me. The said
negro said his name was Joseph, and that he belonged to Samuel
B. Davis, Esq. of Orleans, but who by a letter says he has
no claim or knowledge of such a negro. – The owner is requested
to make application for said negro as eary as possible to
THOMAS RANDALL,
Justice of the Peace.
