FIVE POUNDS REWARD. RUN AWAY on Sunday the 23d of July, 1786, an Apprentice, by the name of HENRY AUSTIN, a white lad, between 18 and 19 years of age, light hair, well made, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high; had on when he went away, a brown linen shirt, and overalls; a flesh coloured durant coat, somewhat faded. Took with him a whitish coloured broadcloth coat, with a black velvet cape, a white waistcoat and corduroy breeches, a pair of white silk stockings, and a pair of blue mixed worsted do. and two white linen shirts. I expect he will make towards Petersburg or Norfolk.----All masters of vessels are forewarned taking him out of the State at their peril, or others from harbouring or employing him; the above reward will be given, to have him delivered to me in this City, or secured, so that I get him again.
