FIFTY POUNDS REWARD.
ABSCONDED, on the 1st January, two Mason Negroes, supposed
to be gone into St. Mary’s: One named MARCH, a
Chamba, with marks of his country on his face, hard featured,
and upwards of forty years old, and about five feet nine inches
high; the other named PETER, a Mundingo, with marks of his
country on his face, also hard featured, and about the same age

deceased, a Mason, who worked them on different properties
in the parishes of St. Mary, St. George, and St. Thomas in the
East, and the said March was his head man. They were sold by
Tho. Hynes and Patrick McDermot, Esquires, in March last;
several negroes belonging to the same estate were purchased
by Alex Ector, Esquire, and having each a wife amongst them,
they may be harboured there by them. Whoever will send them
to Thomas Hynes, Esq. to the subscriber, or lodge them in any
workhouse, shall be paid all reasonable expences and a Doubloon
reward; and, if proved to conviction to be harboured by
any white person, the above reward of Fifty Pounds; and if by
a person of colour, Two Doubloons each will be paid.
