TWO DOUBLOONS REWARD.
RANAWAY from Birnam-Wood, in the parish of St. George,
on the 30th of May, 1808, a creole Negro Man, named JOHN,
by trade a Mason, purchased some little time before from Mrs.
Cherry, and formerly the property of Miss Raymond, of Kingston;
he is a smooth-tongued plausible fellow, very black, 22
years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, with some marks
of the small-pox on his face and nose, has a sore or a scar
on one or both of his legs, a little above the ancle, which he
endeavours to conceal by his trowsers; and it is believed was
marked by Mrs. Cherry, with the letters F. C., he has been seen
at the East end of Kingston, and has relations belonging to
Miss Raymond; who lives in Princess-Street. If he will return
of his own accord in a reasonable time from the date of this advertisement,
he will be forgiven; but if not, the above Reward
will be paid for apprehending him, and delivering him to me,
or to the Overseer at Birnam-Wood; and Thirty-Two Pounds
on conviction of his being harboured.
