Twenty Pounds Sterling Reward. RUNAWAY from the subscriber some time ago, A NEGROE MAN, named JACK, about five feet eight inches high, 21 years of age; he formerly belonged to Mr. Alexander Kennedy, Merchant, of St. Croix, and on which island he was born; he is an artful fellow and speaks good English, and understands a little of the house carpenter's business, also a good waiting man; he used to wear ear-rings, and had on when he went away a suit of green cloaths with yellow livery. ALSO RUN AWAY, A NEGROE MAN, named BEN, about five feet ten inches high, 24 years of age, born in Bermuda; he is also an artful fellow, and speaks pretty good English; he is used to the sea, and has been employed in the drogging business for some years in thie province. The sum of ten pounds sterling reward, besides reasonable charges, will be given, on delivery of each of said Negroes to Mr. Andrew Lord, or Charlestown, or in Savannah to SAMUEL DOUGLASS.
