ABSCONDED from the subscriber, about three months since, a creole negro man, named SHARPER, by trade a butcher or
small stock; is well known in Kingston and Spanish-Town,
also in the interior of the country, having formerly been taken
up travelling the country purchasing small stock, with a
false ticket; he is of a yellowish complexion, tall; he is lame in
the right hand, the muscles being contracted, which prevents
his killing large stock. Half-a-Joe reward will be paid on his
being lodged in any gaol or workhouse, or delivering him to
the subscriber, and Two Doubloons on proving to conviction
by whom harboured. He has also been usually employed in
