Ranaway
ON Saturday night, the 10th instant, my NEGRO FELLOW,
JEFFERY,
formerly the property of Judge BEE, and is well known about
the City. He is about 5 feet 9 inches high ; slender make ;
smart, active, very plausible and cunning ; has somewhat of a
vacant stare, when spoken to, and unusually black under the
eyes ; had on a blue homespun Jacket, but will disguise himself
as much as possible.
This Fellow Jeffery was seen last Wednesday in company with
six others, about two miles from the Charleston Bridge, on
the Turnpike Road, where they beat a Negro Boy of Mr. B.
Fuller’s, and robbed him of some articles. He will probably
lurk about Stone, or Mr. Champney’s Plantation, Pon Pon, in
which neighborhood he is well acquainted ; or perhaps Goose
Creek, where he resided several years, on the late Judge Bee’s
Plantation.
TWENTY DOLLARS reward will be paid on delivering him in
Charleston ; or FIFTY DOLLARS, on conviction of his being
harbored by a white person ; but as such daring conduct deserves
reprehension, and induced the like in others, it is hoped he
will be immediately apprehended, when found on the premises
of any Gentleman, or else harbored by their Negroes.
John Potter.
