former plantation, or embarked himself for Bermuda, where he has children
belonging to a Mr. Robinson; therefore all captains of vessels, or others
are forbid harbouring or carrying off said Negroe, on forfeit according to
law. Whosoever will send or deliver said Negro to us or the Warden of the
Work-house, shall be generously rewarded. Charleston, June 29. Roch &
