Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Ranaway, ON the 7th instant, a NEGRO BOY named CHARLES JAMES, about 5 feet high, rather thin, 15 years old. He had on when he absented himself, a check shirt, yellow striped waistcoat, nankeen trowsers, blue cassimere coatee, shoes, and a small fine black beaver hat : As he took with him a light coloured jean jacket, with small round gilt buttons, some white trowsers, a pair of ribbed light mixture cassimere ditto, a pair of boots, and other articles, it is probable that he may change his dress. He is a good looking lad and very plausible — he has lately arrived from the Northward, where he may attempt to return.
