40 Dollars Reward. RAN away from the subscriber on the night of the 15th inst. a Negro man named DAVIE, between 22 and 23 years old, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, yellow complexion, thick lips, and very little beard, has been used to the sea, and talks like a sailor. He carried with him a drab cloth great coat, and sundry homespun clothing.--It is supposed he will make for some seaport and endeavour to pass for a free man. The above reward will be given to any persons who will secure the said Negro man Davie so that I get him again--and all owners and masters of vessels are forwarned from employing or carrying off the said Negro man, as the law will be rigidly enforced against those who many offend.
