Transcription: Ran away, about three months ago a Negro man, named SIMON, by trade a carpenter; had on an oznaburg frock and blue sailor's jacket. He is marked on his left shoulder, breast and cheek with IC, crow's foot between, which he probably has endeavoured to obliterate. Whoever secures the said Negro in any gaol or workhouse, or delivers him to the overseer at Rosehill or the Subscriber in Kingston, shall receive Half-a-Joe reward; if any person will prove to conviction that he is harboured by a white person, shall receive twenty Pounds; or by a person of colour, ten Pounds. JAMES CLARK.
