Committed to the Work-House,
AS RUNAWAYS,
TWO Africans, viz—One that calls himself Dumbro, but can’t
tell his owner’s name ; he is 5 feet 8 ¾ inches high, about 28
years old, has lost the sight of his left eye, a large wart is on the
left side of his nose, brass wire to his ears, and is pock marked,
clothed in a blue jacket and trowsers, with white mettle buttons,
red shirt and a striped woollen cap—he is very upright.
The other cannot tell his own, nor his owner’s name, and appears
to be very silly ; he is 5 feet 4 ½ inches high, about 24
years old, his country marks near each of the temples, has on
an osnaburg shirt and blue and white striped trowsers.
Also, a mulatto Wench, named Peggy, says she belongs to the
Estate of Wm Cooper, late of Lynch’s Lake, and was hired as
a house wench to Thomas Po(…)ts, near Black River ; she is
about 20 years of age, 4 feet 11 ½ inches high—has on a white
homespun wrapper and petticoat.
