Run-away, from the subscribers of the 9th inst; a negro man named JOE, of the Coramantee country, a tall slim,slim fellow, about 30 years of age, by trade a butcher, and formerly the property of Mr. Robert Gilling, late of this place,dec., he has a remarkable long visage, very black, has a number of pimples about his cheek and his chin, a very thick beard, and is marked on the left shoulder RG, SC on top. As he is very artful and talks good english , he will no doubt, if questioned, say he is about his master's business, or perhaps may endeavour to pass for a free negro. He is well known in the parish and westmoreland, where he used often to be sent for cattle. As he is well acquainted at the Grand Camanas he may try to get off the island, in any vessel bound for that place. Whoever apprehends said negro, and lodges him in any workhouse or gaol of this island, or sends him to his owner,shall recieve five pounds reward; and if harboured or entertained by any white persons whatsoever, a reward of five hundred pounds will be paid, on conviction.James Hudson & Co
