Transcription: Kingston, Nov. 12, 1801, RAN AWAY, about ten weeks ago, a mulatto man, named JAMES, about 25 years of age, a Carpenter and Millwright by trade, purchased about 18 months ago from William Bullock, Esq. and I presume did belong to a joint property [] George Atkinson, Esq. situated in the parish of Vere. He had a ticket from me for one week, and lo longer, for the benefit of his health, which I hear has been so far improved as to enable him to work on board of some vessel at Old-Harbour or []-River for his own profit, the master whereof will risk and meet prosecution, if said mulatto be found in his employ, and steps are taken to [] in his concealment. One GUINEA reward will be thankfully paid on his commitment to any workhouse, and TEN POUNDS on conviction of being harboured. H. KERRETS.
