    RAN away from the Subscriber in King and Queen, a Mulatto Fellow named AMOS LEGG; he is a squat well made young Fellow, not above 21 Years old, and squints much; he was bred a Sailor, and is, I believe, a very good one. Any Person that will take the said Fellow up, and bring him to me, or secure him so that I get him again, shall have Five Pounds Reward, besides what the Law allows, paid on the Delivery of the Fellow.
WILLIAM MEREDITH.
