March 28, 1801.
ABSCONDED a few days ago, on being detected in some petty
theft, an elderly Mundingo Negro Man, named ISAAC, formerly
a Cook, but latterly employed as a Pressman in his Majesty’s
Printing-Office. He is a tall stout raw-boned fellow, has
an old sore on one of his ankles, which he has always bound
up, and may conceal with his trowsers. He is a remarkably lazy
fellow, much addicted to liquor, and speaks a little though his
nose. He was formerly cook to Alexander Shaw, Esq. and was
then the property of Miss Armesteads, of Spanish-Town. He carried with him an oznaburgh frock and trowsers, a new blue
contoon, a Kilmarnock cap, and a hat.
Any person taking up and lodging him in the workhouse, or
delivering him at his Majesty’s Printing-Office, shall receive
a Pistole reward.
