Ran away from the subscriber, living near James-town, last
Sunday was fortnight, a Negroe man, named Harry, who
formerly belonged to Col. Charles Grymes, of Richmond
county:  He is about 5 feet 6 inches high, thin visag'd, has
small eyes, and a very large beard; is about 35 years old;
and plays upon the fiddle.  He had a dark-colour'd cloth
coat, double breasted, 2 cotton jackets, dy'd of a dark
colour, a pair of buckskin breeches, flourish'd at the
knees, and a blue great coat.  It is suppos'd he is gone to
Richmond county, where he has a wife.  Whoever apprehends
him, so that he be brought to me near James-town, shall have
a pistole reward, besides what the law allows. [signed]
William Newgent.
  N.B. He ran away without any cause, I desire he may be
punish'd by whipping, as the law directs.
