Clarendon, October 1, 1810. RANAWAY, from Mocho plantation, in this parish, the following Negroes: - HARRY, in February, 1809 – DICK, in February, 1810 – and WILLIAM and ATTA, in March last: they are all marked WR right shoulder. Harry is a Coromantee, but may pass for a creole, as he calls himself free; he is a cooper by trade, about 5 feet high, and stout made: he is supposed to be harboured in the vicinity of Mr. John Howlett’s mountain, in St. Ann’s, having lately been seen passing from thence to Trouthall estate, in this parish. Dick and William are Eboes, and about 5 feet ½ inches high; the former stout made, and the latter rather elderly. Atta is a creole, and about 5 feet high. A Half-Joe reward will be paid for apprehending each of the above negroes, and lodging them in any gaol or workhouse in this island, or delivering them to the subscriber. HUGH REID.
