Hampstead, St. Ann’s, Sept. 29, 1800.
ABSCONDED from the subscriber, three weeks ago, a Negro
Man, named RODNEY, about eighteen or nineteen years
old; had on when he went away a striped Holland shirt, black
silk neck-handkerchief, a blue round jacket, with a scarlet collar,
and a grey kerseymere breeches; has a remarkable scar on
one of his cheeks; he went away last year, and was harboured
in Kingston, where he worked on board of a ship, under the
borrowed name of JOHN MACKNIGHT, and passed himself
as a free man: This therefore is to give caution to masters of
vessels, not to employ the said fellow. Ten Pounds reward is
hereby offered to any person who can prove on conviction his
being harboured, and a Half-a-joe if lodged in any workhouse
in this island.
JOHN GABAUDAN junior.
