Promised Reward.
RAN-AWAY from my house four days ago, a young negro fellow
named CONTI, born in St. Domingo, looking well [figure
douce], having a small scar on the front, about 5 feet and 5
inches high, branded on the breast with the following letters G.
D. L. C. and below the said letters, with the word Abricots. He
had on when he went away an old blue jacket and an old pair
of pantaloons of check with a round black hat, the nail of his
right middle finger is somewhat deformed. Captains of vessels
are requested not to harbor him and persons to whom he might
offer himself are requested to stop him. I have positive information
of his absconding in the city (J’ai des indices certains
qu’il est soutiré en ville).
LAYET.
