Ranaway Negress and Stolen ditto.
RANAWAY in the night of Sunday the 27th instant, [DANS
la nuit de Dimanche 29 du courant] a negress, named LUCY,
about 25 years of age, appearing from her complexion to be a
griff, speaking English only. Also an affrican negress named
LUCE, aged about 30 years, speaking very little english or
french. This latter negress I had lent to Mr. McKinsey who,
I find, absconded in the night that my negress Lucy eloped ;
from which circumstance and several others, I suspect the said
Mr. McKinsey to have taken them both off, as I know him to
have taken away clandestinely property of mine to a considerable
amount.
A reward of twenty dollars will be given to whomever will
deliver to me or lodge in jail, in this town, either of negresses,
and forty dollars will be given for the recovery of both.
