THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY on Wednesday evening last, from this place, a man slave, named ISAAC BEL, He is a bright Mulatto, between thirty and forty years of age, about five feet eight or nine inches high, and has a very bad burn on the back of his left hand; he is fond of drink, and is a very artful cunning fellow, he can both, read and write, and in all probability he may write him a free pass, or endeavour to pass for a freeman; he had on when he went away, a blue broadcloth coat, with white metal buttons, and a drab coloured great coat, with yellow metal buttons, and had on a cock'd hat; he took with him a horse, saddle and bridle, and a very large pair of saddle bags---the horse is a bright bay, far advanced in years, with a blemish in his right eye, and about four feet eleven inches high, goes well, and is very spirited---the saddle bags contained two large books, relative to the business of sheriff, and a great number of papers, bonds, &c. There was also in the bags, an elegant pair of steel barrel pistols fixed with a belt. Whoever will deliver the said slave to me, or secure him in any jail with the state of Virginia, so that I get him again, shall receive Ten Dollars, and for the horse, saddle and bridle and saddle bags, Twenty Dollars. This fellow was formerly the property of Col. Lewis Burwell, of Mecklenburg, who sold him to Mr. David Lambert of this city, of whom I purchased him. RICHARD LITTLEPAGE. Richmond, March 8, 1793.
