A Run-Away stopped.
A NEGRO FELLOW, in sailor’s dress, with a blue jacket with
white pearl buttons, and trowsers, both of superfine cloth, was
apprehended at this place on Sunday evening last; he is a stout
well made fellow, near six feet high and about thirty years of
age, has a remarkable scar extending from the edge of his under
lip, appears to be an artful fellow and speaks slow, with
a kind of lisp; he had a forged pass signed James Jack, to go to Augusta, in Georgia; says his name is Jim Stephens, tells
many contradictory stories, in one of which he says he came
about four or five weeks ago from Wilmington (N.C.) in the
schooner Easte [?], captain Nix, and that he belonged to Mrs.
William Lee, of said place; but it appears that no dependance
can be placed in what he says. Whoever he may belong to, is
requested to apply immediately to the subscriber, and bring a
receipt from the Printers for the payment of this advertisement,
and they may have him by proving the property and paying the
expences of his keeping.
Adam F. Gitfinger.
N. B. The fellow has a small black leather POCKET BOOK,
which contains some papers relative to the ship Kingston, from
Halifax and from there bound to Savanna-la-Mar, Jamaica,
mentioning a number of goods shipped by Peter McNale, of
Halifax and to be delivered to John McNeal, of Savanna-la-
Mar, Jamaica.
