Strayed Horse and run-away Negro.
THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD.
STRAYED or stolen, from the Subscriber’s plantation, near
Ashepoo, a bright BAY HORSE, with a small white spot in
his forehead, his right fore hoof split half up, a full bay, short
switch tail, a good saddle and draft horse, very gentle and never
known before to stray away from his mates, is therefore supposed ; to be rod off by some run-away negro or other thief.
Also, absconded on Monday last, a likely young NEGRO FELLOW,
named LONDON, well known in this parish and in town,
as he was formerly his wainting man, though of late he worked
in the field. He went off in consequence of a slight flogging
he received, and from declarations he made, it is expected he
will endeavor to stay out as long as he can; he will either make
for town, where he has many acquaintances,or join the gang
of run-aways that now infest this neighbourhood, for want of
attention being paid to the performance of patrole duty. The
Subscriber will be obliged to his friends, to give orders to their
overseers or drivers, to have him apprehended if seen lurking
about their premises, and any negro suspected harboring him,
will be severely punished as the law directs.
A reward of Twenty Dollars will be paid for the negro, and Ten
Dollars for the horse. Captains of vessels are cautioned not to
suffer him to be seen on board.
