St. George’s, April, 1801.
RANAWAY, in June 1799, from the subscriber, a Creole Negro
Man, named FRIDAY, of a yellowish complexion, now about
30 years of age, and about 5 feet 8 inches high; he is slightly
pitted with the small-pox, has a downcast look, and squints
in one eye. During the last martial law, he inlisted in one of
the black companies of militia at Port-Royal, and afterwards
passed about Spanish-Town, as a free man, under the name
of WILLIAM IVY, and is understood now to be betwixt that
place and St. John’s. About a year ago he was taken up and put
into Kingston Workhouse, from which he made his escape. A
reward of Ten Pounds will be paid to any person who apprehends
and lodges him in any workhouse in this island, or upon
his being delivered to Mr. JAMES WILKENS, in Kingston.
