"TWO HUNDRED POUNDS OF REWARD
Whereas William Brodie, a considerable House-Carpenter and Burgess of the City of Edinburgh, has been charged with being concerned in breaking into the General Excise Office for Scotland, and stealing from the Cashier's Office there a sum of money - and as the said William Brodie has either made his escape from Edinburgh, or is still concealed about that place - A REWARD OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS STERLING is hereby offered to any person who will produce him alive at the Sheriff Clerk's Office, Edinburgh, or will secure him, so as he may be brought there within a month from this date; and FIFTY POUNDS STERLING MORE, payable upon his conviction, by William Scott, procurator-fiscal for the shire of Edinburgh." -- Sheriff-Clerk's Office advertisement, 1788
