t 5 feet 7 inches high, 18 or 19 years of age, remarkably likely Fellow, rather slim made; HE SPEAKS FRENCH TOLERABLE WELL, and is too fond of the French Negroes, it is supposed he is harboured by some of them. He had on when he went away a pair of brown trowsers, and a jacket of the same colour, with green cape and cuffs and white metal buttons, but it is very probable he may have changed his dress, as he carried other clothes with him. A reward of Fifty Dollars will be paid to any person that will give information of his being harbored by a White and Twenty-five Dollars if by a Black Person, on conviction of the offender. DAVID HAIG. _City Gazette and Daily Advertiser_ (Charleston, S.C.), June 27, 1797. TEN DOLLARS REWARD Ran-away from his Master on the 6th ultimo, a MULATTO FELLOW named DICK, about 20 years old, five feet nine or ten inches high; a stout well-built Fellow, SPEAKS ENGLISH VERY WELL. It will be difficult to describe his dress, as he carried a quantity of clothing with him, when he absented himself. The above reward will be paid to whoever shall have secured him, so that he may be returned to his Master. Masters of vessels and all other persons are cautioned against harbouring said fellow, as they will incur the penalties of the law in that case. JAMES MORISON. _City Gazette and Daily Advertiser_ (Charleston, S.C.), Nov. 12, 1798. THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD Absented themselves sometime since, the following slaves, viz. Bob, a carpenter Fellow, of a yellowish complexion, mustee, has bushy hair, is about five feet six inches high, and 35 years of age; is well made, AND SPEAKS RATHER MORE PROPER THAN NEGROES IN GENERAL. Dorcas, his Wife, also has a Yellowish complexion and bushy hair, is about 26 years of age, is a good cook, VERY SMART, AND SPEAKS VERY PROPERLY. They have with them their two Children; one a Girl called Willoughby, about 8 or 10 years old; and another infant only a few months old. One half the above sum will be paid for Bob, and the other half for Dorcas and the children, on their being lodged in any gaol in the State, or being delivered to Captain PAUL HAMILTON on Salimas Island or Mr. William P. Smith at Ponpon; and One Hundred Dollars will be paid on conviction of their being harboured by a White person. MARY EDDINGS. _City Gazette and Daily Advertiser_ (Charleston, S.C.), July 31, 1799. 500 DOLLARS REWARD Absented themselves
