TWO DOUBLOONS REWARD.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, when working at Shemolea’s
estate, called the Bog, near Ocho-Rios, in St. Ann’s, a
stout millwright and carpenter negro, named OXFORD, but
calls himself JOHN REEDER. He and some French negroes,
belonging to the said estate, stole a boat, and it was supposed
went ovet to Cuba: The subscriber has been informed that he
has since returned, and resides about St. Ann’s. He is about
five feet ten inches high, pock-pitted, and lost one of his upper
fore teeth; his hair about his forehead is very grey. The above
reward will be paid to any person lodging him in any gaol or
workhouse, by applying to Peter Lefever, Esq. Harbour-Street,
Kingston; Wm. Henry Barker, Esq. Grey’s Hill, St. Thomas in
the Vale; or to the subscriber on Essex, in the above moutains.
A further reward of Six Doubloons will be paid on proving that
he is harboured by a white person, and Four Doubloons if by
a person of colour. He absconded the latter end of November,
1798.
