This is therefore to forewarn all Persons, at their Peril, to employ or entertain him without a Power from his Owner. And whoever can give Intelligence of him so that he may be had again, or will bring him to the Subscriber, shall be well rewarded by

James St. John.

N.B. The said Negro is thought to be skulking about Town, or concealed at Mr. Harvey's Plantation over the Water.
