A Reward of Ten Dollars is offered for the apprehension of a negro man, slave named Kiah, who absconded some time since and is believed to be in or about Norfolk or Ports mouth or their vicinities, hiring himself out under a forged pass or as a free man. He belongs to Miss Bettie E. Fitchett, of Accomac county, and I hired him of Messrs. P. M. Tabb & Son, of Richmond. He is probably between 25 and 30 years of age, about 5 feet 6 or 8 inches in height, stout made, and of a dark complexion or black. The above reward will be paid on his delivery to me in Richmond, or upon being duly notified of his being deposited in any jail in this Commonwealth so that I get him.
