Serge-Island, St. Thomas in the East,
Feb. 17, 1806.
ABSCONDED from the above plantation since Christmas last,
a creole negro man, by trade a Cooper, is stout made, artful,
and well looking, and (as conjectured) about five feet eight or nine inches high, without any brand or other mark; his name
is LONDON, but usually takes that of the subscriber; he is
supposed to be harboured in Kingston, and to support himself
by working at his trade. One Doubloon is offered for lodging
said negro in any gaol or workhouse in this island, or delivering
him as above; and a further reward of Fifty Pounds will
be paid on proving to conviction the person who may have
harboured him.
JOHN ELMSLIE.
