RAN AWAY

A NEGRO MAN named DAVY, by trade a Carpenter, formerly the property of Mr. Hart, the chairmaker, and lived some time with Mr. Cooke, the Carpenter. He is a stout fellow, about 5 feet 10 inches high, 35 or 40 years of age, stoops a good deal, wears a long beard, and is well known in Charleston as a fiddler. He is supposed to be skulking about Mr. Andrew Hasell's plantation in St. Thomas's where he has a wife, or at Irish-town. Ten Guineas will be paid to any person who will deliver him to the Subscriber at Goose-Creek, or to the Keeper of the Work-House in Charlestown.
