TEN POUNDS REWARD. RUN away from the subscriber, near the south branch of Meherrin river, in Mecklenburg county, a negro man named BOB, about 5 feet 9 inches high, 26 years old, Virginia born, is very sensible, has bad teeth, speaks very hoarse, and has a small mark on his upper lip; his forehead, which is fleshy, hangs much over his eyes, and makes a dent in his nose joining his forehead. He is a little bow-legged, and his feet are large; can make shoes, play on the fiddle, and is fond of singing with it; he passes as a free man, and calls himself ROBERT CHAVERS. He broke Norfolk gaol in May last, was seen at Craney Island, and is supposed to be gone towards Hampton. Whoever delivers him to me shall have the above reward, or FIVE POUNDS to secure him in any gaol, so that I get him again. I forewarn all masters of vessels from taking him out of the colony at their peril. RICHARD WITTON.
