June 1, 1799.
FIVE POUNDS REWARD.
ABSCONDED from Dunsinane, near Mammee-Bridge, St.
Andrew’s, about the beginning of last month, an Old Negro
Man, named POMPEY, about the middle size, thin visaged,
rather a stupid, silly looking fellow, speaks quick, and has
generally a long beard. He had with him a long Oznaburgh
frock and trowsers, a ragged blue contoon [inc], and old coat
of Orleans cloth, and an old glazed hat. He formerly belonged
to Mrs. Elizabeth Stevenson, from whom the subscriber purchased
him in 1794, when she went off the island. He used
then, and for some time afterwards, to act as a postilion. It is
supposed he is gone towards St. Mary’s, and may probably
be about Mr. Murphy’s plantation, the Ramble, where he has
relations. Any person who will take him up, and lodge him in
any workhouse, giving notice thereof to the subscriber, shall
receive a reward of Five Pounds, from
ALEXANDER AIKMAN.
