Transcription: Run away, from the Subscriber, about four weeks ago, from Silver Grove Estate in Trelawny,35 a stout, well set, creole Negro man named QUAW, of a black complexion, much pitted with the smallpox, about 26 years of age, and by trade a mason. He will most likely pass himself for a free man, or tell some plausible story to prevent detection. Likewise, run away about four years ago, his brother, a stout, likely young fellow, about 24 years of age, by trade a mason, and was some time past seen in Kingston and Spanish Town, passing for a free man by the name of THOMAS. Whoever will lodge in any of the gaols of this island, or give information where the owner may get them, shall receive a Half-Joe reward for each, by applying to the Subscriber at Scarlett Hall Estate. If any person is found harbouring them, they may depend on being prosecuted to the utmost rigour of the law. PHILIP ANGLIN MORRIS.
