Five Pounds Reward. REUBEN PURCELL, who acted some part of this year in quality of my Overseer, went off in the night of the 5th inst. and, I have many reasons to believe, carried with him a Negro of mine named JAMES, about 24 years of age 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, speaks quick and and brustering [sic], has been inoculated.--Purcell is about 5 feet 11 inches high, fair complexion, very light hair, which he wears short, walks very lazily, stoops pretty much has a scar over his left eye--his father lives in Richmond County.------I will give the above reward on the delivery of the Negro, or 10 l. if Purcell, or any other person can be convicted of stealing him. BENJAMIN ROBINSON. King & Queen, Nov. 13, 1785.
