Mount-Recovery, St. Thomas in the
Vale, Sept. 11, 1801.
ABSCONDED, about four months ago, a Creole Negro Woman,
named EASTER, formerly belonged to Mr. Charles Crerie [inc], from whom the subscriber purchased her; she is stout
and well made, of a jet black complexion; has been frequently
seen in the habit of higgling from Spanish-Town, through the
Walks, and to St. Mary’s, and either passes herself as a free
person, or is in possession of a false ticket. Whoever will apprehend
the said negro woman, and deliver her to the subscriber,
or lodge her in any workhouse, shall have a reward of
Two Guineas, and all expences paid; and whoever will give
information, so as to prove to conviction by whom she is harboured,
shall receive a further reward of Ten Pistoles if by a
free person, and Five Pistoles if by a slave.
ALEXANDER SMITH.
N. B. If the said negro woman will deliver herself up to me
without any further trouble, her faults will be forgiven.
