Runaway
YESTERDAY morning, a Negro wench named Esther, 28 years
old, about the middle size and make, speaks English & French,
her dress cannot be described, as she took a variety of changes,
principally valuable cloathing, such as muslin, silk and dimity.
She can be easily known from the following marks, viz. scars
under each ear caused by the kings-evil, and a wound recently
healed on the left wrist, occasioned by a cut from a glass bottle.
She is supposed to be lurking about the place, and is no doubt
concealed by some person or persons. Ten Dollars reward will
be given for apprehending and securing said wench and the
said sum in addition, to any person who will bring such proof
of the place she is concealed, and the person concealing her, as
may lead to conviction.
