Fifty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY on the 30th ult. my Negro Wench DIANA, purchased
of Moses Wells, a Black Man ; she is about nineteen
years of age, tall and slender made, yellow complexion, and is
well known in town, particularly in Union-street.—A further
description is unnecessary. Ten Dollars will be paid on delivering her to me on South-Bay, or to the master of the work
house in Charleston, and a further reward of Fifteen Dollars
will be paid on conviction of her being harboured or employed
by a white person or free person of colour.—Mileage and all
reasonable expences will be allowed.
On the 1st int. in the evening, my Negro Fellow PETER was
sent in search of the wench and has not since returned ; it is
supposed he is gone with her. Ten Dollars will be paid on
delivering him to me on South-Bay, or to the master of the
work-house in Charleston, and a further reward of Fifteen
Dollars will be paid on conviction of his being harboured or
employed by a white person of free person of colour. Mileage
and all other reasonable expences will be allowed. He is about
twenty-seven years of age, and well known in town as a carter.
He may endeavor to pass for a free man, and may show his
pass, which the subscriber requests may be detained. He is of
a dark complexion, pitted with the small pox, has lost one of
his fore-teeth, about five feet nine inches high, has remarkable
small legs, having no shape ; is a sly, subtle, cunning fellow, of
smooth speech, and has duped some people by his fair words
and got off from them some time ago.
