Fifty Dollars Reward.
WILL be paid to any person, who will give information to
conviction, of any white person’s harboring or employing the
following Runaway — one half the above for the like information
of his being sheltered by a person of color.
He is called COVENTRY, but sometimes takes the name of
RICHARD, a Bricklayer, by trade, six feet high, and a remarkably
civil black fellow, about 31 years old. He was seen going
towards Combahee a few weeks since, and may have a permit
to seek for work, from a mechanic in town, to whom he was
hired : so no paper which he may have in his possession, are
to be regarded, and whoever may employ him, is hereby required
to pay all his wages, to the Subscriber only, who will give
Twenty Dollars to whoever will secure him in any place of
confinement, so as to be recovered by
Abraham Motte,
No. 97 Bay — Charleston, S. C.
This being COVENTRY’s first offence, it shall be overlooked,
if he comes home immediately of his own accord.
