Spanish-Town, April 11, 1806.
RAN AWAY, the following negroes, from Norbrook plantation,
in Liguanea: - BILLY, a Mundingo, aged fifty years, hair
very grey, and about five feet high; JOHN, a man aged forty
years, with a very hoarse voice, about five feet eight inches
high; BELLA, a woman about thirty years of age, stout made,
five feet four inches high. John and Bella cohabit as husband
and wife, are Coromantee negroes, and have small marks on
their temples, as are usual with certain of the Gold Coast nations.
These slaves were purchased from the representatives
of the late Mathew Smith, of St. Elizabeth, and removed from
that parish about eighteen months since. They are now supposed
to be on or near the late property of the said Mathew
Smith, and to have been carried from Kingston to Black-River
in a drogger commanded by a black man, calling himself Capt.
Dixon. Five Pounds will be paid for apprehending each of the
said negroes, and lodging them in a gaol or workhouse, and
Twenty-Five Pounds on proving to conviction that either of
them are harboured.
