Run away from the subscriber, a negro fellow named Quash,
formerly a drummer, and well known in most parts of St.
Bartholomew's; he is about 5 feet 10 inches high, spare and
well amde, very likely and sensible; he carried off with him
a drummer's suit of clothes which he formerly wore when a
drummer to the Borough company, with a green coatee and
sundry other half worn clothes, as also a gun and a
portmantua, containing a few books, papers, clothes, &c.
   One hundred pounds reward will be paid for said fellow,
on his delivery to the subscriber, and two hundred pounds on
conviction of his being harboured by a white person; if said
fellow returns of his own accord he will be forgiven.
