Kingston, May 24, 1806.
THREE DOUBLOONS REWARD.
RAN AWAY from Mount-Content, on the 25th of September,
1805, a creole negro man, named HARRY, about five feet six
or seven inches high, marked on one shoulder, but mark forgot;
he was sold in January, 1804, by George Cotterel, a brown
man, of the parish of Clarendon, to a person in St. Andrew,
from whom he was levied on for public taxes, and purchased
in November 1805, at the collecting constable’s sale, by Mr.
Francis Martin, of Kingston, from whom the subscriber purchased
him in December, 1805: It is believed he is harboured
by his mother and sister, near Craw-River estate, in Clarendon,
where he was seen, and made his escape from a party that
was sent after him in February last, and it is now supposed
that he was, at the time of his absconding, inveigled away by
one Lutterell Cotterell, brother to his former owner. Also, in
April 1801, a creole negro woman, named CHARITY, about
five feet two or three inches high, pitted with the small-pox,
formerly belonged to John Phelps Ivey, of Clarendon, near
St. John’s; she has been frequently seen in Clarendon, and
is now supposed to be harboured on Bushy-Park estate, by a
driver there: Her mother and brother are in the possession of
Mr. John Oliver, of New Grounds. The above reward will be
paid to any person securing either of the above negroes in any
workhouse which money will be lodged with the Supervisor of
the workhouse whenever their name appears in the workhouse
list in the Gazette; and Thirty Pounds on proving to conviction
by whom harboured.
WILLIAM STATE.
