accompany him, his brother-in-law.
MOSES, a stout yellowish fellow
of about 21 years of age, and 5 feet 8
inclies high, whotwas born and bred
in my service and has hitherto con
ducted himself in such an exemplary
j manner as neither to have deserved
j or received the smallest corpoual pun
ishment within my recollection.- He
served an apprenticeship .with Antho
ny Hall, blacksmith, in Wilmington,
to whom, he has been hired for some
time past, and whose employment he1
left by the base artifices and persua7 1
sioii of Bristol having on a blue jack- J
et, and brown trousers ; but carried
with him a blue broad cloth coat, cas
simere waistcoat and nankeen over
'alls. In consequence of his uniform
good conduct, if he returns shortly
to the said Anthony Hall he will be
forgiven. '. ; .
LARRY, upon suffering a very val
uable Flat loaded with ballast, to sink
by his extreme carelessness, , ran away
iii February, 1802, while I was absent
on avisitio South-Carolina; he had
before. left my service and remained
out for upwards of a' year, but on re-turnino-
tn hisrlntv was forcriven. and
during his staying at home was not
(that 1 know of) punished for any cause.

lie is a yellowish negro, shews his
teeth generally, from his lips being ra
ther short ; his face is pitted, although
not deeply, by the small pox ; he is
thirty years of age anil six feet high,
and has long been lurking about the
plantations near the mouth of. Hlack
Uiver, and cruising up and down that
and the Northwest River, being har
boured at different periods, I am in
formed, both by black and white per
sons. Bristol and he, certainly had
frequent" communications lately, and
I believe Bristol has contrived the
plan for their escape towards Newbern
and Washington, ok out ol the state
by water, having frequent intercourse
with vessels during his working this ;
winter at my wharves in and opposite
Wilmington. . , , ' j
For apprehending and delivering
