[inc], Liguanea,
August 29, 1803.
ABSENTED himself from this place, about a month ago, a Mulatto
Man named JOHN, otherwise JOHN ROBERTS, about
32 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slender make,
and limps a little as he walks; was some time ago employed
as a waiter at Lewis’s Tavern in Kingston. As there is reason
to suppose that he may endeavour to pass as free, it is requested
that no attention will be paid to any misrepresentations he
may make as to that point; and all persons are hereby cautioned against harbouring or concealing him, as the law will be
strictly enforced against any so doing. A reward of Half-a-Joe
will be paid to any person lodging the above named slave in
any gaol or workhouse, or bringing him to the subscriber, at
the above pen.
MARY ROBERTS.
