A $1,500 reward offered by the receiver's office of the New York and Erie Railroad is the central subject of this notice. The Erie was chartered in 1832 to link New York City with Lake Erie, and it went into court-appointed receivership more than once, so a receiver's office would have handled its business when the company was under court supervision. Its later struggles drew in financiers such as Jay Gould and Jim Fisk. The record does not say what prompted the reward, so the specific incident remains unclear.
