He has been seen at his Brother’s Joseph Carman, near the Head of Sassafras River, in Maryland. Now whoever apprehends him, and brings him to the Subscriber, living in the City of Philadelphia, shall have Three Pounds Reward, and reasonable Charges: And whoever gives me Intelligence of the Person who carried him off, so that I may obtain Justice, shall have Forty Shillings Reward. And I do hereby forwarn all Persons from harbouring and concealing the said Apprentice, as they will answer the same at their Peril.
