Runaway Negress.
All persons are requested to stop an English negro wench
born in Jamaica, named SERAPHINE, aged about 25 years,
& speaking bad French. She went off under the pretence of
searching for another negresse who had ranaway from me on
the 25 inst. [se servant du pretexte de chercher une negresse
marronne au Bayou]. She went away about the same period.
She had on when she went off a long blue gown, is of the
ordinary height and well made, a round visage, and a reddish
complexion, and aquiline nose, and the eyes yellow and lively.
She was punished a few days ago for running away [elle a ete
fouettee depuis peu de jours pour marronnage]. She is marked
[elle est etampee au feu] on the right shoulder O. ML. [VL.]
