Transcription: Hampshire estate, St. Thomas in the Vale, Aug. 17, 1814. A DOUBLOON REWARD. RAN AWAY from this estate, in the middle of June last, a negro man named JULIUS and called by the negroes DUFFUS, purchased out of the St. Catherine’s workhouse, having been nearly two years there, as belonging to Lemon Hall estate, St. John’s, sent in by his master. He is a cooper by trade, very likely, and well made, full eyed, his hair on the forehead forming a crescent; five feet six inches high, square shoulders, about 27 years of age; being artful, and from his general appearnce, may attempt to pass as free; he is well known, having formerly waited on his master, Wm.Gordon, esq. Masters of vessels are therefore cautioned against employing, or taking him off the island, as the law will be enforced. – If harboured, Ten Pounds will be paid on conviction, by the subscriber. HECTOR MACKAY.
