Transcription: Sabina-Park Pen, near Kingston, May 24, 1811. TWENTY POUNDS REWARD. RANAWAY, from the above property, Two Negroes: JOHN, alias JOHN DIAMOND, a waiting boy, about 5 feet 8 inches high, of a very black complexion, rather knock-kneed and the joints of his great toes rather larger than common; JEMMY, alias JEMMY ALBUST, a carpenter and painter, about 5 feet 5 inches high, the little finger of his right hand he cannot bend. John was taken up some time ago in St. Mary’s, and lodged in that workhouse, and it is suspected he may have taken that route again; they are very plausible and may attempt to pass as free. A Doubloon will be paid for each on lodging them in any workhouse, or delivering them to the subscriber, and the above reward on proving to conviction by whom harboured. ISABELLA HALL.
