Bellevue, Westmorland,
Dec. 10, 1805.
RAN AWAY, the 2d instant, from the above settlement, a
negro man, named DICK, an Eboe, but calls himself JOHN
BROWN; he is about forty years of age, and about five feet
six inches high, of straight active make, has well formed legs,
walks very erect, has filed teeth in front, flat nose, with large
nostrils, has much to say for himself, yellow complexion, marked on one shoulder McG, on the other MV or DF. Having
been twice off the island as ships’s cook (to which business he
was bred with Thomas Brown, Tavern-keeper, Old-Harbour),
he may endeavour to ship himself as a free man. All Commanders
or Masters or Vessels are cautioned from employing him.
A reward of Half-a-Joe will be paid for securing him in any
gaol or workhouse in this island; and Ten Pounds will be paid
to any one proving to conviction by whom he may be harboured,
on application to Thomas Aspinall, Esq. Kingston; or, on
the premises, to
JAMES McGILL.
