ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
REWARD. — Ran away from Richmond City on Tuesday, the 2d of June, a negro man
named WM. N. TAYLOR, belonging to Mrs. Margaret Tyler of Hanover county.
Said negro was hired
to Fitzhugh Mayo, Tobacconist; is quite black, of genteel and easy manners,
about five feet ten or eleven inches high, has one front tooth broken, and is
about 35 years old.
He is supposed
either to have made his escape North, or attempted to do so. The above reward
will be paid for his delivery to Messrs. Hill and Rawlings, in Richmond, or
secured in jail, so that I get him again.
Jas. G. Tyler, Trustee
for Margaret Tyler.
