Notice.
A Runaway Negro Man for Sale.
Negro
man Joseph, or Joseph Williams, who was committed to the jail of my
county, on the 19th November, 1832, as a runaway, who then said and
still says that he belongs to Jesse Griffin, on the coast, four miles
from New-Orleans. He is five feet nine inches high, 30 or 35 years of
age, black complexion. Had on, when committed, a coarse woollen
<sic> round jacket, cotton shirt and pantaloons, and had with him
some other old clothing. The said negro will, (unless the owner
complies with the statute in such case made and provided) be offered to
the highest bidder, for cash, at the court house in Port-Gibson, between
the hours of twelve and four o'clock P. M. on Thursday the 20th of June
next, for his jail and other fees.
