RAN away from the subscriber in George-Town, the 9th of December, 1762: A Stout, likely, sensible, artful negro man, named MARCUS, this country born, of a very black complexion, a cooper by trade, formerly the property of Mr. William Green on Black-River, where he now has a wife; he has also a mother at Indian-town, Black-mingo, and at these places he is supposed to be harboured. Whoever will apprehend and deliver the said fellow to me in George-Town, shall be rewarded with Twenty Pounds currency; and whoever gives information of his being harboured or entertained by any white person, shall have 30Ł or by a negro 10Ł currency, to be paid upon conviction of the offender, from
