Five Dollars Reward.
ABSENTED himself on Thursday last, a NEGRO MAN named
JACOB, five feet eight or nine inches high, he is very
much pitted with the small pox, has bushy head, stout made,
very active and artful, by trade a Shoe-Maker, or Segar-Maker—
he probably will attempt to pass for a free man, and call
himself Jacob Sanders, as he has done so before. Had on when
he went away, a check shirt and nankeen pantaloons, with
an iron on his right leg—he was seen on Saturday night last
on South Bay—if harboured by any white person, a further
reward of Twenty Dollars, and Ten if by a black. He can speak
the Spanish language well, and the French a little. All Masters
of Vessels are hereby forbid to carry him off the state, at their
peril, particularly those for Spanish ports; as he has some relations
in Augustine, he may attempt to go there.—Any person
delivering him at No. 121, Queen-street, or to the Master of the
Work-House, shall receive the above reward, and other reasonable
expences paid.
James Drummond.
N. B. Blacksmiths and others are forbid to take the iron off his
leg.
