Kingston, October 29, 1805.
ABSCONDED from the subscriber, on the 16th instant, five
carpenter negroes, viz. DAVIE, a Mungola, five feet eight inches
high, has a down cast countenance, and is very artful; the
other four are Eboes, named YORK (about the same height),
STEPHEN, WILLIAM, and CHARLES. The above negroes
are well known in the parishes of St. Andrew and Port-Royal,
and particularly in St. Thomas in the East, where they formerly
resided. A handsome reward will be given to any person
bringing them to the subscriber, on Mona estate, in St. Andrew’s;
or to Messrs. Tindall & Menzies; or lodging them in
any workhouse.

N. B. All Masters of Vessels are hereby cautioned against
harbouring or concealing any of the above negroes, or taking
them off the island, as the law will be strictly enforced against such offenders.
