NTHEREAS am convinced, by late disclosure
W facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past, regular agent
in the commission Of NOR. highhanded thefts, than
was first aware of to the great loss OF my neighbors
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement the 10th of
November last; therefore deem il an imperative tlu.
~ to awaken the vigilance Of the community at large
and particularly of Sheris, Constabes and Police Of
cers, that this arfu scoundrel may be apPrchended
and that he and his concealed partners in guilt may
be brought to condign punishment. I do believe, it
will appear upon his apprehension that others more
guilty than HIMSELF have ccompshed, by his agency
their dishonest purposes. For fear of naccuracy in

dark twlled domestic CLOTH He had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply Of money, the fruits of
his felonious agencies. The marks, however, of thr
ty Ave stripes but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority for atrocous theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence, will still show on his
back if examined Ills sober habits and apparent f.

infancy as house servant waiter, market man, car

From this date, if he be taken in the District or within
