Berckshire-Hall, St. Thomas in the Vale,
March 13, 1801.
ABSCONDED, a Negro Man called WILLIAM, better known
by the name of PETER, many years a waiting-man to the
subscriber; he is well known all over the island, particularly in
Kingston and Spanish-Town; at the latter, he was seen a few
days ago: He is artful and plausible, and may probably attempt
to go off the island. Captains of vessels are cautioned against
receiving him, as the person taking him off may depend on
being prosecuted. A reward of Fifteen Dollars will be paid, for
apprehending and bringing the said runaway to the subscriber,
or securing him in any workhouse; and a reward of Thirty
Dollars for proving to conviction the person harbouring said
slave.
