Absented himself,
ON Wednesday morning, my SERVANT ROBERT, a small
fellow, about five feet six inches high, twenty-eight years old,
a dark mulatto, somewhat pitted with the small-pox, with a
small mould on his chin, very civil and modest in his deportment,
and a remarkable sensible slave; had on when he went
away, a blue round jacket and dark purple velvet pantaloons.
Masters of vessels and others are seriously cautioned against
taking him from this place, as they may depend, on detection
the law will be very rigourously put in force against them. A
reward of Five Dollars, with all expences, will be paid to any
person who may take him within the city, and a proportioate
additional sum if brought from beyond it and delivered to the
Master of the Work-House, or
Abraham Motte,
No. 39, Bay continued.
N. B. As he usually conducts himself uncommonly well, and
may have gone off on consequence of a threat made him on
Tuesday, when I was under the influence of very distressing
feelings; if he returns home immediately, all will be overlooked.
