Thirty Dollars Reward,
FOR JOE.
ESCAPED from on board the sloop Delight, in August last,
in hanfcuffs, the above named Slave. — JOE was lately the
property of Mrs. Mathews. He is well known in St. Andrew’s
Parish, is about five feet six inches high, square and well made,
has a remarkable round full face, thick lips, and a very pleasant
countenance ; speaks slowly, and in the common plantation
dialect, is a carter and field hand ; his dress white plains.
— It is supposed he will both endeavour to conceal himself in
Charleston, where they have numerous connexions. The above
reward of 30 Dollars will be paid for him, and all reasonable
charges, if delivered to me, or to the warden of the Work-House.
