RUN away from my plantation in Saint Mark's parish, a negro man named London , a Bricklayer by trade; he did formerly belong to the late Mr. Thomas Life, deceased, and served his time to Mr. Horbeck in Charles-Town, where he has worked ever since, until lately, and where he is well known: As he has lately been frequently seen in town, I have reason to believe, that he is harboured by some person in it.—Whoever will apprehend the said negro man London , and deliver him to me, or the Warden of the Work-house, shall receive Ten Pounds reward. And any person who will give me information, by whom he is harboured or employed, shall receive Twenty Pounds, upon conviction of the offender.
