Notice: is hereby given, that there is now in Litchfield Goal, a Molatta Fellow, who calls himself Caesar Sambo, about 5 feet 10 Inches high, speaks good English, well made, and sprightly, and is about 25 years old : he says he is free, and that he formerly belonged to Capt. Benjamin Green of Greenwhich (Rhode Island.) He was lately taken un in Norfolk, for travelling without a Pass and by Order of Authority committed. It is suspected the fellow has been in Company with the Gang of Negroes who have lately infested this Part of the Country. His Master, if he has any, may have him, upon paying Charges and if no owner appear, he will soon be disposed of in service to answer the Cost according to Law. Litchfield, October 5, 1761
