Transcription
Kingston, Sept 9, 1811 RANAWAY, from the subscriber, a brown Man, named JOHN DAWSON, alias JOHN REYNOLDS, a carpenter and tailor, five feet five inches high, about twenty-four years of age, marked on his left breast WF, in one, and was lately purchased from Mr. Fergusson, in Clarendon: When he went way he had on a black hat, corbo coatee, check shirt, and a pair of white pantaloons. It is probable he will endeavour to pass as free, and get on board of some vessel in the harbour. […] A Pistole reward is offered to any person who will secure him in any workhouse, or bring him to the subscriber, in Church-Street. J. F. PURCELL
