TEN POUNDS REWARD.
Early in the month of March last, ELECK a Negro man, of
about twenty-two years age, Ran away from the subscriber,
living in Prince William County;--He had on, when he went
off, a green over jacket and breeches, and a red under
jacket--but as there is reason to believe that he had a
variety of clothes, it is probable that his dress cannot be
described so as to afford any means of detection. He is
about six feet high, of a lean habit, and of a very dark
Mulatto, complexion. Some years ago he was attached with a
rupture under the jaws, very much in its appearance like the
King's evil, and notwithstanding the disorder seems entirely
to have left him, the remains of former ulcers are, on
examination, easily discovered. Whoever will deliver the
said slave to the subscriber, or his overseer, shall receive
the above Reward.
