Twenty Dollars Reward

Ran away from the Subscriber, (living in Second-Street, between Market and Arch Streets) about the latter end of last June, a negro fellow named Toby, about 24 Years of age, 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high, a likely well-set fellow, very talkative and complaisant, especially when in liquor, has been brought up to house work. He was taken up at New York, the 19th of Aug. last, and made his escape from goal the same day. It is supposed he is there got on board some Vessel bound to the West Indies, or went towards Albany or New England. Any Person who shall take up said Negro, so that his master may get him again, shall be entitled to the above reward and all reasonable charges. JOHN BAYARD

N.B. His clothing are not described, as he took nothing but his common apparel, which is supposed by this time he has worn out or changed. He can write, and perhaps he may change his name & pretend to be free negro.
