Advertisment.
Absconded from the
household of the President of the United States, ONEY JUDGE, a light mulatto
girl, much freckled, with very black eyes and bushy hair. She is of middle
stature, slender, and delicately formed, about 20 years of age.
She has many changes
of good clothes, of all sorts, but they are not sufficiently recollected to be
described—As there was no suspicion of her going off, nor no provocation to do
so, it is not easy to conjecture whither she has gone, or fully, what her
design is; but as she may attempt to escape by water, all masters of vessels
are cautioned against admitting her into them, although it is probable she will
attempt to pass for a free woman, and has, it is said, wherewithal to pay her
passage.
Ten dollars will be
paid to any person who will bring her home, if taken in the city, or on board
any vessel in the harbour;—and a reasonable additional sum if apprehended at,
and brought from a greater distance, and in proportion to the distance.
