Forty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY on the 3d December last, a NEGRO BOY, named
NOVEMBER ; he is between 11 and 12 years of age,
very small and slenderly made, has a dull dijected [sic] countenance,
but nevertheless has great animation and capacity ; he
was born at Dr. Brickell’s plantation, upon Ferguson’s swamp,
his mother’s name is Elsey. It is possible he has consented to
change his name, and has been enticed away by a waggoner, or
carried away in a vessel.
The above Reward will be paid upon proof to conviction of
the fact in either case, of Twenty Dollars and all reasonable expences
for delivering him to the Master of the Work-House, in
Charleston, or to any gaol in this or any of the adjoining states,
and giving due notice thereof. Those who may be detected in
harboring or employing him, are assured that every effort will
be made to have the laws rigorously enforced against them.
If the Boy returns of his own accord he will not be punished.
Stephen Moore.
Hampstead, August 9, 1803.
