Clause 19 required the Provost Marshal to keep captured runaways in custody, post their names at the courthouse, and advertise their names and owners—or physical descriptions if owners were unknown—in the Gazette within six days. Notices were to be repeated monthly while people remained jailed. The process helped slaveholders reclaim people and made colonial print part of a capture apparatus; it also left identifying traces for descendants and researchers. (Consolidated Slave Act, clause(s) 19.)
