Thirty Dollars Reward
RAN-AWAY from the subscriber last evening, a MULATTO
MAN named JIM, about 5 feet 8 inches high. He speaks French
and English remarkably well, is intelligent and plausible, and
will probably attempt to escape on board some vessel bound
for the Atlantic states. Thirty Dollars Reward will be paid,
if required, to any person apprehending and lodging […] [et
le conduira en prison ou au soussigné] the subscriber in this
city. Captains of vessels and others, are particularly cautioned
against harboring the said runaway, as the law in such cases,
shall be most rigorously enforced.
Richard Clague.
