Ten Dollars Reward,
WILL be paid for apprehending the subscriber’s Negro man
JESS. He is about 6 feet high, well made, upright in his walk
and a little pitted with the small pox ; is well known amongst
the coasting vessels ; he is very artful and can impose on most
persons by his insinuating manners. Had on when he went
away, white negro cloth pantaloons and jacket with blue cape
and cuffs, and a great coat of brown cloth. All persons are forewarned
against harbouring or employing said fellow ; and
masters of vessels are particularly cautioned against taking
him out of the state, to whom there is no doubt he will apply
for employment having been brought up to the sea.
