CRAVEN, August 1, 1777. RUNAWAY FROM the Subscriber in May last, a dark Mulatto Man Slave called BEN, is a lusty well made Fellow, about 50 years of Age, has had one of his Thighs broke, so that one Leg is much smaller than the other, his Knee is stiff, which causes him to halt very much in his Walk, is well known on Pamplico River, as he formerly belonged to one Mr. Warwick, of that Place. I have Reason to be believe he is now lurking about that Neighbourhood, as some Applications have been made for the Purchase of him. I will give a Reward of Twenty Dollars to any Person who apprehends the said Runaway, and delivers him at my House or Ten Dollars to whoever secures in any public Jail in this State, so that I get him again. William BRYAN. N.B. The Gentleman who applied in my Absence to purchase Ben, not leaving his Name, obliges me to give an Answer to his Application in this public Manner: I will take 200 l. Proc. for him, and not less. W.B.
