Runaway,
ON Monday the 19th inst. from Jacques Fortier’s plantation at
Cannes Brulées, a negro man named Jack, born in Charleston,
25 or 28 years of age, speaking English and very little French,
he is in good health and is marked on the breast (J. Fortier.)
Ten dollars reward will be paid to any person who will lodge
said negro in jail or on delivery to Mr. Fortier on the Levee.
Captains of vessels and others are hereby forewarned not to
conceal or harbor said runaway, as I am determined to prosecute
such offenders as the law directs.
