Mill-Bank, Portland, Nov 28, 1815
TWO DOUBLOONS REWARD
WILL be paid to any one who will apprehend and lodge in
safety a Negro Man, named WILLIAM FORD, the property
of the Subscriber, who absconded from this place on the 3d of
September last, and made an attempt to destroy his Master and
all his family by poison. He is an excellent Carpenter, about 5
feet 7 inches in height, stout made, of a yellow complexion,
and speaks uncommonly well for a Negro; is branded with the
letter B, of a large size, on both shoulders, but which he has
tried to obliterate, though not effectively, as bumps remain. His intention is to get off the island, if possible, therefore all
seafaring people are hereby cautioned against such an act, as,
on proof of such, they will suffer according to law.
