RAN away from the Subscriber’s, on the 6th inst. a NEGRO
fellow named Stephen, abouut [sic] 20 years old stout built,
a native of Baltimore, and well known in town as a Baker or
vender of bread --- TEN DOLLARS reward will be given to
any person who shall lodge him in the jail of this city or deliver
him to subscriber in St, Ann Street. --- Masters of vessels
and all others are forewarned not to harbor or carry him off at
their peril. There is a master of a vessel here at present, from
Baltimore who expressed some days ago a desire and willing
inclination to carry off any Negro concealed in his ship, so he
could do it with safety to himself. ------ I think it a duty incumbent
on me to take this opportunity of informing the owners of
slaves in this city to be on their guard.
CLAUD GUILLAUD.
