ABSENTED himself twelve months ago, a negro fellow named HERCULES, a carpenter by trade. A reward of Three Guineas will be given to any person that delivers him to the subscriber. He is frequently seen in Charlestown, where he may endeavor to get employ; but every person is hereby forewarned at their peril, from employing, harbouring or carrying him off this Province, as the subscriber is determined to prosecute to the utmost rigour of the law any person so offending.
PATRICK SIMPSON.
N.B. If Hercules returns of his own accord, he shall be forgiven.
