TEN POUNDS REWARD. RAN away from the subscriber a Negro fellow named CYRUS, sometimes calls himself JOHN, a istiller[distiller] by trade. He is a short slim made fellow, 24 years old, had on when he went away an old blue jacket, oznabrigs shirt and trowsers -- he speaks badly. ALSO ran away a mulatto girl named VIOLET, 22 years old, slim made, middle size, speaks Creole. She had on when she went off, a printed dove ground short gown, or orange coloured short gown and petticoat, a handkerchief on her head mended with white linen. The said negroes were run away with in May last from St. Martin's in the West-Indies and brought in the Schooner Nancy from Swansborough. These are therefore to forwarn all persons from carrying them out of the state, or harbouring them under any pretence whatever. The above reward will be paid for delivering them to me at Newbern, with all reasonable charges, or five pounds for either of them. FRANCIS LOWTHORP. May 18.
