TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. RUN-AWAY from the Subscriber the 10th instant, a Negro Girl, named JUDITH, about 18 or 19 years of age, of a light complexion, short, but stout for her height, she has several scars on her neck, and one on her forehead:--She carried with her an osnaburgs jacket and shirt, a white cotton petticoat, and one striped with black yarn, also a caddere. I have every reason to believe that she was persuaded away, and is now harboured by a fellow named JOHN BENDALL, who has kept her as a wife for some months past, his profession is that of a carpenter--and some months ago he worked in the city of Richmond, where he may carry her, or to the neighbourhood of his mother's, who lives at, or near, Ellises Tavern, in Caroline county. I am apprehensive that he may endeavour to carry her out of the state in order to make sale of her.--JOHN BENDALL is about 26 or 27 years of age, of a dark complexion, (for a white man) with long black hair, and 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high--I will give the above reward of Twenty Dollars to apprehend the said Bendall; should the aforementioned Negro be found in his possession, or with him, and in the case, for them to be confined in the most convenient jail, and information thereof given to the subscriber--I will give Five Dollars for the delivery of the girl alone. P. AYLETT. King William, June 22, 1793.
