     give the above reward and pay all reasonable expences to any
     persons that will apprehend and confine them, in any Jail so as we
     get them, or deliver them to us in Charlotte, or 25 dollars for
     either, and if you secure them write to Charlotte or advertise them
     in the Richmond Enquirer untill we get them.
