Runaway Negro in Jail.
AN American mulatto, named James, aged about 26 or 27
years, five feet three inches and a half high (French measure,)
of a strong constitution. The said mulatto says he belongs to
Mrs. Widow Brooker, of the state of Ohio, from whom he ranaway
in the month of April last. He said he came from there
in a flat boat as far as Baton-Rouge, where he disembarked,
and that in the route which he made on foot to this place, he
was stopped on the great road near the parish of St. John Baptiste,
and sent to prison by order of Judge St. Martin.
