TWENTY FIVE DOLLARD
REWARD
RAN AWAY, from the Subscriber, on the night of the eleventh instant, a Black
Negro Man, named COT; twenty-five years of age, five feet, six or seven inches
high. I expect he will be lurking about Snow Hill in Greene county, as his father
has his time, and lives in that vicinity; and it is probable that he will also be part
of his time in the neighborhood of the plantation of Mr. John C. Stanly, near
Newbern, as his mother lives with Mr. B. D. Gray, within a few miles of said
plantation.
The above reward, and all reasonable expences, will be paid to any person who
will apprehend and confine said runaway in Jail, so that I get him again. Masters
of vessels, and others, are hereby cautioned from harbouring , employing or carrying
him away, under the penalty of the law.
