Charlestown, December 22, 1781.
HAVING certain information that numbers of Negroes,
the property of the enemy in general, and of the sequestered
estates in particular, are held in this town by people who have no
right or authority to detain them, as well as others the fame pro
perty, who, under various pretences, go about uncontroulled, to the
distress of the inhabitants, the detriment of Government, and in
direst violation of orders that have been repeatedly issued to prevent
such practices : IN ORDER THEREFORE to put an effectual flop
to such abuses, 1 HAVE, by virtue of the powers in me veiled, for
the seizure of the property of the enemy, appointed Mr. James
Gordon to receive returns of all such negroes, which are directed to
be made to him, at his office at No. TI, Tradd-ftreet, on or before
the 31st day of this present month December ; and the said James
Gordon is empowered by me to hire out all such negroes as shall
not be employed in the different publicly department ; and all ne
groes who are hired out, or have leave to work out, under passes
from me; are directed to pay up the arrears due from their wages at
said office, and receive new passes, or be ofherwife disposed of before
the said 31st instant, on failure or neglect of which, they will be
considered as vagrants, and confined.—Any person or persons em
ploying or harbouring such negroes, without such renewed passes
under the hand of said Mr. James Gordon after the above date,
(those employed in the King's service always excepted) will be con
sidered as designedly concealing sequestered property, and punished
accordingly : And that no person may plead ignorance, I have di
re&ed this advertisement to be inserted in all the Gazettes fix dif
ferent times.

ALEXANDER LESLIE, Esquire,
