RAN AWAY from the fubferiber, on the zzd
instant, a Mulatto slave called MATT, about
twenty five years of age, five feet ten or eleven inches
high, was inoculated for the small pox last May and
bears the marks very plain in his face. He was formerly
the property of Mr, David Russell, merchant, in Bland
ford, who purchased him of Mrs. Jane Vobe, in Willi
amfourg, and he is well known by most gentlemen who
frequented the General Courts in that city. His dress
when he went off was a blue cloth coat, buff jacket and
leather breeches, shoe boots, &c. but as he carried
way sundry other cloaths, and is a sensible fellow,- no
doubt he will change his dress and endeavour to pass as
a freeman. He probably may have procured a pass, as
he did once before when he eloped, in which he changed
his name to William Byrd, ali^s Matthew Davenport.
His address being very clever as a waiting-man he may
probably endeavour to hire himfolf to some gentleraan.
This is to forworn all matters of vessels and others from
employing or harbouring him, as they shall answer for
it at their peril. Any person that secures the said slave
so that I may get him again shall receive THIRTY
DOLLARS regard, and if delivered to me in Pe
tersburg, the above reward.
