Five Pounds Reward. Run away from the subscriber, living in
the borough of Chester, in the beginning of August last, a
mulattoe man, named Jack Jones, upwards of 24 years of age,
a cooper by trade, about 5 feet 7 inches high, wears his
hair tied in a cue behind, has a hobbling gait when he
walks, occasioned by the rheumatism formerly in his hips,
this country born, speaks good English, can read, and write
a tolerable hand, and can play pretty well on a fife, is a
sly, smooth tongued fellow, and may probably forge a pass,
and pretend to be a freeman; he went on board the Providence
privateer, commanded by Captain Jones, when she lay opposite
to Chester, outward bound on her cruize, . . . [11 lines,
whereabouts, terms, signed by Elisha Price.]
