TWENTY POUNDS REWARD. RANAWAY, from this property, THOMAS DEMETRIES, a mulatto man, cooper and carpenter by trade, born in Spanish- Town, and supposed to be harboured there. As the fellow can write, he probably forges a ticket for himself occasionally: he has been runaway upwards of five years. – A Doubloon will be given to any person securing him in a workhouse. Also, an elderly woman, named QUASHEBA, a Coromantee, supposed to be harboured about Hazard estate, or Sambo River, in St. Mary’s. Eight Dollars will be given for securing her; and a further reward will be given on proving to conviction by whom either of the above slaves are harboured; if, by a white person, Twenty Pounds, if by a person of colour, Ten Pounds, on application to WILLIAM ANGUS.
