Stop the Felon! Twenty-five dollars reward will be given for apprehending and delivering to me, in this place, James Clements, who escaped from the jail of Martin County, in the town of Williamston on the night of the 25th inst. He is about fourty-eight years old, five-feet eight or ten inches high, face long, thin and rather flushed, very talkative, and fond of ardent sprits; professes to be a physician, and when walking, his toes turn up very much. — Said Clements was taken by virtue of capins issued from the county of Currituck, charged with the stealing of slaves, etc. — Edward Griffin, Sheriff.
