FORTY POUNDS Reward. RUN-AWAY from the Subscriber, on Monday the first day of March instant, two sensible Negro men, named SIMON and NED, both carpenters by trade, and speak good English. Simon is a well-made black Fellow, of the Guinea country, about five feet nine inches high, one of his feet has been split with an ax, and is grown up in a ridge: Ned is a short, well-made fellow, of the Angola country, about five feet four inches high. They carried with them both blue and white Clothes. Whoever apprehends and delivers the said run-away Negroes to me, at my plantation at Horse-Savannah, or to the Warden of the Work-house, in Charles-Town, shall receive a reward of Twenty Pounds for each, and all reasonable charges paid: And I will give a further reward of Fifty Pounds to any person who can prove that they are harbored by a white person, and Twenty Pounds, if by a Negro, upon conviction of the offender.
SAMUEL WAINWRIGHT.
Charles-Town, March 8, 1773.
