Transcription
Ran away, from the Subscriber some time ago, two Negro men, both carpenters by trade, one of them named ISAAC, a likely young fellow; he is supposed to be harboured at Rose Hall Estate, St. Thomas in the Vale, he having a wife there, and where he has been seen. The other named MUSA, tall and slender made, and is very remarkable for having six toes on each foot; he has also a wife at Rose Hall, from which place he lately removed his clothes, and told his wife, that he meant to go to Kingston, where he was offered employment. A reward of fifty-five Shillings will be given for apprehending and lodging each of them in either the Kingston or Spanish Town workhouses; and all manner of persons harbouring or employing either of them after this notice, may depend on being treated as the law directs in such cases. SAMUEL DOUGLASS.
