Three Half Joes Reward. Ran away, from me on Thursday 23rd June last, a tall elderly Negro man, name PRINCE, alias KNIGHT, about 5 ft. 10 or 11 in. high, by trade a carpenter. He formerly belonged to Mr. ROMALDO, dec., from whom he had been accustomed to hire himself and work out, and occasionally on his master's mountain, in the neighbourhood of Guanaboa, St. John, where, or in Liguanea, he is now supposed to be secreting himself, having been used to work there also. He at the same time stole away with him a small Bay Mare, marked C, with a diamond before it, on the off buttock. Caution is given from any person harbouring him, as they will be prosecuted as the law directs; and from purchasing the above mare, as she will of course be replevined. The above reward is offered to any person who will deliver him to the Subscriber, or secure him so at to get him immediately. JOHN MARSHALL.
