One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY on Saturday, the 17th instant, a NEGRO FELLOW,
named JOHN BAPTIZE ; He is about twenty years of
age, well made and likely, about five feet seven or eight inches
high, has the mark of a large scar or cut from the forehead
down to the right eye-brow ; he was born in St.-Domingo, and
brought at here at the time of the disturbance there, afterwards
became the property [pas of] Mr. STEWART, Vendue-Master,
who sold him to captain MORRISON, No. 37, George-street,
who had him two voyages to the West-Indies, and as he is now
in town, it is probable he will strive to go on board some vesssel
; thereof all Masters of Vessels and others are cautioned not
to take him on board, as the law will be put in full force. One
Hundred Dollars will be paid on proof of his being harbored
by a white person, thirty if by a negro or person of colour ; or
ten on delivery of him to the Master of the Work-House. He
is well known in town, and had on a coatee and overalls of
Russia sheeting.
If he will return of his own accord he will be forgiven.
Robert Giles.
