Description
I have in my possession a sorrel horse, about 3 years old, 14 1/2 hands high, a blazed face, both hind feet white, no other marks or brands perceivable; also a bundle containing clothing and a watch supposed to be gold, a small pistol and a hatchet.
Said property was taken by me from a Negro, who had escaped from his master, and whom I could not secure. The owner can have the property by proving the same and paying expenses. N.B. There was another negro in company.
