Kingston, April 2, 1800.
RAN AWAY from Healthful-Hill Coffee Plantation, in the parish
of St. Catherine, a Negro Man named SOMERSET; speaks
but indifferent English; has no brand-mark; is a tall slim negro,
and supposed to be harboured in the neighbourhood of
Millward’s Bog. Also, a Negro Woman named JULIET, a Nago,
a stout negro woman, and has her country marks; she has a bad
sore on one of her legs, and is supposed to be harboured about
Passage-Fort, where she has a husband. Also, a Negro Man
named CUFFIE, well known in Spanish-Town and Kingston,
having formerly been employed as a wain-man at the Angels
pen, near Spanish-Town: he is a sensible artful fellow, speaks
good English, and had on, when he went away, an oznaburgh
frock, and a short jacket and pantaloons of blue pennistones:
He has been seen lately going and returning, in one of the Passage-
Fort boats, to and from Kingston; has a small sore on
one of his feet, and will, in all likelihood, endeavour to get
employment on board some ship in the harbour. Also, a Negro
Man, named NED, a creole, who was likewise employed some
time ago as a wain-man at the Angels, and is also well known in the towns: he is a sulky ill-looking fellow, and has two sores
on one of his legs, which is somewhat swelled. A reward
of Half-a-Joe each will be paid for apprehending and lodging
them in the workhouse in Spanish-Town or Kingston, delivering
them on the property, or at the subscriber’s store; and a
further reward of Twenty Pounds each, for Cuffie and Ned, and
Five Pounds each for the other two, to any person proving to
conviction by whom they are harboured.
