WHEREAS lam convinced, by late disclosure OF
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past regular agent
in the commission Of more highhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss Of my neghbors
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasoned his elopement on the 10th of
November last; therefore deem it imperative du.
y to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularly of sherifs Constables, and Police Of
cers, that this artfu scoundre may be apprehended
and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt may
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, t
will appear upon his apprehension, that others more
guilty than himself, have accomplished, by his agency
their dishonest purposes. For fear of naccuracy in
my last advertisement will again describe his person.
Norrage about feet inches high about 81 wears
old, OF dark complexion yet not Of deep black CO.
lori regular features somewhat bow.legged vet of a
good figure for his height. His dress at the time he
disappeared, was roundabout and pantaloons, of
dark twilled domestic CLOTH He had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money, the fruits of
his felonious agencies. The marks, however of thr
tyve stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority tor an atrocous theft supposed at the time
back if examined. His sober habits and apparent f.
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable indu
gence previous to this. lie has been trained from his
infancy as house servant, waiter, market man. car
rage driver, &C. He has attended me in Baltimore.
Annapolis, and other parts of Maryland. But he is
much better known in the District, and particularly
in Alexandra, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone to Market and purchased goods for family usc
From this date, if he be taken in the District or within
ten miles of its line, within any part of Prince
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; fin any 9th
er part of Maryland or Virginia, one hundred dollars
and if in any other place, State or Country, whatever
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
costs and charges, if secured that get him again.
Fifty dollars are also offered for the legal con yietion
ofarv person ATTEMPTING to promote by forvsd r...
or otherwise. his escape. Against all persons harbor
ing or employing said negro, will enforce the full RI
gor Of the law.
