Kingston, April 20, 1805.
ON the 6th day of December, 1804, the subscriber hired to
Captain MAGUIRE, of the drogging schooner PELICAN,
Three Negroes, named FRANK, JACK, and TOM, to proceed
in said vessel to Orange-Bay, and back to Kingston: Instead of
returning to Kingston, the said vessel has been drogging from
port to port, at the north side, for from three to four months
past, and is still, as the subscriber believes, at Montego-Bay.
The subscriber, not chosing that his negroes shoud remain so
long absent, and considering that Capt. Maguire had deceived
him as his intended voyage, wrote some time since to Capt. M.
to send the ngroes to Kingston by land: By a letter date 31st
March last, he (Capt. M.) informs the subscribers that the negroes
had then already set off to Kingston, by land. However,
not one of the negroes having yet made his appearance, the
subscriber offers a reward of an Half-Joe for each, to any person
who will lodge them in any workhouse in this island, and
give due information thereof to
NOEL TODD, Rosemary-lane.
All persons are hereby warned against harbouring and employing
said negroes.
