Ten Dollars Reward,
For apprehending my NEGRO BOY, CHARLES; he is about
twelve years old, very black, rather slim made, a French Boy
born in Port-au-Prince, speaks but little English, and is very
artful and may endeavor to pass as free. Had on a short blue
jacket, swandown or black satin waistcoat, oznaburg or nankeen
trowsers, white shirt, round black hat, with a black velvet
ribbon and guilt buckle. It is supposed he is harbored by some
French negroes in this city. Masters of vessels are cautioned
against carrying off said Boy, and all other persons from harboring,
concealing or employing him, as the law will be rigourously
enforced.
