Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

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.
