Fifty Dollars Reward
WILL be given for apprehending a NEGRO MAN named Narcis
[NARCISSE], about 25 or 26 years of age, 5 feet 3 inches
high, speaking French, English and Spanish.
The above negro ran-away and was apprehended about four
months ago, near bayou Placquemine [Plaquemine], and sent
to New-Orleans in the care of Antoine Fornandez [Fernandez],
on Mr. Don Pedre Villiaamille’s [sic] raft [sur le cajeu de Mr.
Dm. Pedre Vilamil], and delivered to his master Mr. Robin
Delogny.
It has been proved that the above negro is the person who robbed
me the 30th of last September, and as Mr. Delogny had
made declaration before the robbery was committed, that he
chose to renounce him, and now says he is again run-away, I
will give the above reward for securing him in jail so that I get
him.
JAMES RUST.
