St. Ann’s Bay, Feb. 18, 1801.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on Monday the 2d instant,
CAESAR, a stout well made negro man, about 5 feet 4 inches
high; has the appearance of a sailor negro; was lately
purchased from Captain Bowes, who commanded the Armed
Brig Conquest; he wa seen on his way to south side; and, from
information since received, there is reason to believe he is
working on board some vessel in the Kingston Harbour: The
subscriber knows of no cause for his absenting himself; and,
if he will return in any reasonable time, he will be forgiven;
if not, and any person securing him in the workhouse will (if
acceptable) be rewarded for their trouble, on application at the
store of Messrs. Robert Taylor and Co. ; Captain Bowes; or
the subscriber; who will be obliged to the several masters of
vessels in the Kingston Harbour, if they will examine the negroes
employed on board; and, should either of them prove
of the above description, to have him secured, that he may be
examined by Captain Bowes.
