Spanish-Town, Aug. 2, 1806.
Absconded,
A STOUT creole negro man named JOHN, but calls himself
JOHN SEWELL, he is of a yellow complexion, and is well
known in this town, having for some time been in the habit of
working drays to and from Kingston. Also NED, a brother to
John, of a yellow complexion and pitted with the small pox, he
is also well known in this town and the Red Hills; and DICK,
but calls himself RICHARD ABBEY, a mulatto, he is also well
known in this town and the Red Hills, having been for sometime
past employed by Mr. George Dickenson as a market-man,
and waiting-man, he is very artful and may attempt to pass for
free. It is strongly suspected the above negroes were enticed
away, and this is to caution any person from harbouring, as
the inveigling act will be strictly enforced. Should they return
of their own accord they will be forgiven, but if absent three
months the law respecting runaways will be resorted to. A
reward of EIGHT DOLLARS for each of the above runaways
will be paid on lodging them in any workhouse, and a liberal
reward to any one who will prove to conviction by whom harboured,
on applying to
R. POORE.
Should they be lodged in any workhouse, the Supervisors are
requested to deliver them over to no person whatever without
a written permission from the advertiser.
