One Hundred Dollars Reward.
A YOUNG FELLOW belonging to me, named JOHN, sometimes
called JOHNSON and at times calling himself JOHN
HILL, went off from this place about three or four weeks
since. JOHN is about five feet five inches high, twenty-three
years old, though he appears much younger, he is somewhat
of a copper colour, being the son of a mulatto man and negro
woman. His features are generally ugly, his eyes remarkably
large and prominent – he is sensible and shrewd, civil in his
manners and plausible in conversation; he served his time with
a cabinet-maker, and understands the business of the windsor
chair-maker; he is very ingenious and well-acquainted with the
use of the joiners tools. JOHN reads and I believe can write a
little. What induced him to go off or where will be his destination
is not known, but it is expected he is gone in some vessel
to some of the northern ports, or perhaps to Charleston.
I will give the above reward to any person who wil deliver
JOHN to me, if he is taken out of the state; or if taken in the
state, I will give Twenty-five Dollars on his being delivered to
me.
W. H. Hill.
N. B. Should the above mentioned Negro be found in or near
Charleston, apply to JOHN MAUGER, No. 24, East-Bay.
