Twenty Dollars Reward.
FOR apprehending and securing in the work-house, or on delivering
to the subscriber a NEGRO WENCH, named DINAH,
the property of the late Caspar C. Schutt, Esq. who absented
herself on Friday morning, the 15th inst. on pretence of going
to South Bay. A particular description of her dress cannot be
given, as she carried away with her all her clothes ; amongst
which were a new suit of mourning. She is about 22 years
of age, likely, and very black complexion, speaks the back
country dialect, is very artful, and will probably endeavour to
pass for a free wenhc, or attempt to return to Ninety Six district,
from whence she was brought. Dinah was advertised and
sold aat Sheriff’s sales in Charleston, the 3d of May last, at
which time she was purchased by the late Mr. Schutt, but had
been previously confined nearly three months, by virtue of a
mortgage from John Miller to James Shaw, of Ninety-Six. The
above reward and all reasonable expences, will be paid by the
Subscriber for securing said Dinah in the work-house, or on
delivering her to me. All persons are cautioned not to conceal
the said wench as for every such offence they will be prosecuted
aggreably to law.
Margretta D. Schutt, executrix.
N. B. If she returns of her own accord she will be forgiven.
