$100 REWARD
RANAWAY from the subscriber the last of November, my Negro man HAMPTON, sometimes called DICK HAMPTON. He has has not been heard from since between the 25th of December and the 1st of January. I have no doubt but he has been enticed away by some ill designed white person, and perhaps has in his possession papers purporting to be a free man, as a similar attempt has been made in behalf of his Brother whom I have lately caught.
The above reward will be paid upon his being arrested and Lodged in Jail, and with proof sufficient to convict of his being taken or enticed away by any white person; or,
FIFTY DOLLARS.
without such proof, if Lodged in Jail, so that I can get him.
DESCRIPTION.
Hampton is about 28 years of age, stout and heavy made, weighing about 170 lbs; brown or deep copper colour, about 5 feet 8 inches high, round faced, lips rather thick, has an impediment in his speech, especially when a little confused, (perhaps more of a stammering than otherwise.) He is bow legged and in his walk he throws out one foot a little more than the other. I think the right foot; clothing in part he lost after he left, as such is the case I am at a loss to describe them.
