Transcription: Vere, May 17, 1802. IN VESTRY. Fifty Pounds Reward. WHEREAS a most horrid and wilful MURDER has been committed by a Mulatto, named HARRY HAY, alias CALASH belonging to Vere estate, in this parish, on his Uncle, a Negro, who belonged to the said estate, where this crime was perpetrated: And whereas the said Harry Hay, alias Calash, has since absconded : The above reward will be paid to any person apprehending him, so that he may be safely lodged in any gaol or workhouse in this island. He is by trade a carpenter, and being very artful, it is supposed he will endeavour to go off the island ; all captains of ships and others are therefore cautioned from either assisting him to prosecute such intention, or harbouring him on any account whatsoever, as the most rigorous steps of the law will be taken to bring such person or persons to justice. By order, AGRAHAM KEMP, Cl. Vest.
