10 Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY the 1st instant, a NEGRO FELLOW named TOM, about 24 years old, stout made, and full face, about 5 feet 8 inches
high; he lately belonged to James Rankin, and has worked
some time about his Store in King street; was formerly hired
out by Mr. James McDowall, and worked with Mr. Vardel the
Bricklayer. It is supposed that a white man has encouraged
his escape, though it is likely he is harboured in the city. All
persons are hereby notified that the law will be strictly put in
force against such as harbour or carry him off the state, and the
above reward will be paid to any person who will bring him to
the subscriber.
Wm. Porter.
