Transcription: Spanish-Town, June 30, 1809. RANAWAY, from the subscriber, the following Negroes, and a reward of Half-a-Joe will be paid for each, to any person or persons who may apprehend all, or either, and lodge them in any workhouse of this island; and Ten Pounds reward will be paid to any person who will prove to conviction by whom either of them is harboured.QUASHIE, a carpenter, was hired to Mr. Packer, of this town, some time ago; he calls himself Brown, and attempted to pass himself as a free man; and has threatened Obea to intimidate any from discovering where he is. He is said to be harboured at a negro yard in this town, near the old poor house, which is tenanted by Fanny Blackburn, a brown woman; he is about 5 feet 6 or 8 inches, and well proportioned, a creole, speaks very good English. This fellow has been away upwards of two years: it is said he works at his trade about Tackey’s Bridge, and is frequently seen in the market, but the negroes who know him are afraid to apprehend him, as he generally goes armed with a cutlass.
