RUN-away from the subscriber living in Redding, on Saturday night last, a Negro Man, named CLEMENT, about a middling stature, very black, has a remarkable twist in his gait as he walks supposed to be occasioned by one leg being shorter than the other; had on and took with him a butternut greatcoat with a white cape, a striped blue and white coat and towsers, a pair homemade corded breeches and jacket. Any person that will take up and secure said Negro, so that the owner can have him, shall have the above reward and all reasonable charges paid, by LAZARUS BEACH. N.B. Said Negro was seen in in Woodbury on Monday evening, and is supposed to have steered towards Boston state. Redding, September 30, 1784.
