Fifty Dollars Reward.
WALKED away from their work at the Plantation, to play in
town, PETER, PRIMUS and SCIPEO. Peter is a tall thin fellow,
with long blue sailors clothes. Primus is a stout fellow, and
when scared talks very fast, about 5 feet 8 inches high. Scipeo
is a well set young fellow, about 5 feet 6 inches, has an impudent
look. They are sensible country boen negroes, all plausible
and can tell a good story; they are well known about town,
having worked on East-Bay street as draymen and labourers,
and they have wives in town, their dress cannot be described.
One of Peter’s wives belongs to Mr. Hibben; Primus’s wife to
Mr. Bremar, and Scipeo’s wife to Mr. Lloyd.
Eight Dollars for each will be paid on delivery at No. 22, Bay;
and as they are good boat hands, they may offer themselves to
go off the state or a coasting; it is requested that no one will
employ, harbour or carry them off the state.
Fifty Dollars will be paid on proving to conviction, there being
harboured or employed by a white person.
If they return they will be forgiven.
