Kingston, May 19, 1802.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, about three weeks ago, an
American Negro man-boy, named JACK, about twenty years
of age, rather slim made, and speaks remarkable good English.
Said boy was sold by Mr. Thomas Bennett, tavern keeper, to
Simon Simmons, and by him sold to the subscriber. He is marked
on both shoulders S. S. with T. B. on top; and it is supposed
has been enticed away by some person or persons on
board of one of the ships which lately sailed for Europe. Any
person giving information by whom the said Negro is harboured
or enticed; or lodged, in any gaol or workhouse in this island, shall receive a doubloon reward, and twenty pounds if
proved to conviction, on application to the subscriber, in East-
Harbour street.
William Geo. Mowatt, ship-carpenter.
