Ten Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY about the middle of May last, a French Mulatto
BOY, named ST ILAIRE, about 17 years old, 5 feet 2 or 3
inches high, middling stout and well made, his hair fine and
much less curly in general than those of his color, small eyes,
and when laughing scarely [sic] appear, his face blotched here
and there with a yellow much darker than his skin, speaks
good English, and may from the lightness of his complexion,
attempt to pass himself for a white man, the fellow possessing
rather an uncommon degree of effrontery; had on when
he went away, a pair of drab cassimere trowsers, and a round
blue jacket, cape and facing of black velveret; it is supposed
he is lurking abou town, or on Sullivan’s island, from whence
he made his exit. All masters of vessels and others are cautioned
against taking him off the state, as they may rest assured
if detected, the utmost rigour of the law will be put in force
against them.
The above reward will be paid on his being lodged in the
Work-House, by applying at the corner of King and Boundarystreets,
to
Robert Blakeley.
