50 Dollars will be Given
For apprehending A NEGRO MAN named JACK, but more
frequently called MORGAN. He is about 5 feet 6 inches high,
stout made, a good deal pock pitted, he took off with him a pair
of red pantaloons, a striped waistcoat, and a blanket great-coat,
with a variety of other clothes ; wore ear-rings ; and had about
50 dollars with him in money. Does not speak plain English,
and speaks a little French. He is supposed to have gone off
with two white men, one named Bazzle, the other a sailor, his
name not known ; but I have been informed that he is in company
with four men. It is thought he will attempt to go to the
Spanish country. The above reward will be given, if the said
slave is delivered to me at this place or one half, if secured in
any gaol, so that I get him again.
