Had on, when he went away, a new fustian coat and trowsers, and a striped silk and cotton waistcoat.?   Leverich suggests that Coe, ?As he has worked some years at the black-smith?s trade, it is probable he may endeavor to hire himself as a journeyman to this business, in New-York, or its vicinity. Whoever will secure said apprentice, so that his master may get him again, shall be entitled to the above reward, and all reasonable charges.? The broadside also warns that ?Masters of vessels are forbid carrying off said apprentice, and all others of employing him, at their peril.?    The language of this handbill is what we might expect from an advertisement for a runaway black slave but it is clear that Coe was a white apprentice who had absconded from his master, Edward Leverich (1763-1835).…
