ABSCONDED from the subscriber, on Thursday last, a Sambo
Boy named BILLY, about four feet high, a very artful plausible
fellow; may attempt to pass himself as free, and by that means
get off in some ship about to sail with the lees [inc]; he is branded
on one of his shoulders with th eletters GT, and one one
of his arms the mark of an anchor, with the initials WP, underneath.
Masters of ships and others are hereby warned against
harbouring him, as in case of detection the law will be most
strictly enforced. Whoever will secure him in any workhouse,
or deliver him to the subscriber, in Orange-Street, will receive
Half-a-Joe reward.
ANDREW L. JOHNSTON.
