Twenty Dollars Reward,
FOR apprehending and securing in the Work-house or on delivering
to the subscriber a Negro Wench named DINAH, the
property of the late Caspar C. Schutt, Esq. who absented herself
on Friday (...) the 15th instant, on pretence of going to
South-Bay.—
A particular description of her dress cannot be given as she
carried away with her all her clothes; amongst which were a
new suit of mourning. She is about 22 years of age, likely, and
very black complexion, speaks the back-country dialect, is very
artful, and will probably endeavour to pass for a free wench,
or attempt to return to Ninety-Six District, from whence she
was brought. Dinah was advertised and sold at Sheriff’s sales
in Charleston, the 3d of May last, at which time she was purchased
by the late Mr. Schutt, but had been previously confined
nearly three months in jail, by virtue of a mortgage from
John Miller to James Shaw, of Ninety-Six. The above Reward,
and all reasonable expences, will be paid by the subscriber for
securing said Dinah in the Work-House, or on delivering her
to me. All persons are cautioned not to conceal or employ the
said Wench, as for every such offence they will be prosecuted
agreeably to law.
MARGRETTA D. SCHUTT, Executrix.
N. B. If she returns of her own accord, she will be forgiven.
