Twenty Dollars Reward.
LEFT the subscriber’s house on Sunday forenoon, the 30th ult.
a NEGRO FELLOW, named MOSES, about 5 feet 11 inches
high, very long features, and of a yellowish complexion; about
30 or 35 years old, speaks the back country dialect, is very
artful and may attempt to pass for a freeman. Had on when he
went away, a round jacket and overalls of blue cloth, a black
Florentine vest; with a red chequered Marseilles under on; but
having taken off with him a dark green coat and a number of
other clothes, will be apt to change his dress. He also took
with him a pair of spurs, which causes strong suspicion of his
having gone with a waggoner or as servant to a white person,
either to Georgia or North-Carolina. The above reward will
be given to any person or persons who will lodge him in any
gaol in the United States; on evidence of his being concealed,
carried off this state, or harboured by a white person,a further
rewward of a Hundred Dollars will be given. If the said Moses
returns of his own accord, he will ne pardoned.
James Burges.
No. 123, TRADD-STREET.
N.B. All masters of vessels are forewarned not to carry him off
this state, as they will on proof, be prosecuted according as the
law directs.
