Kingston, 12th May, 1806.
TEN POUNDS REWARD.
RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, GEORGE, or JOHN
BROOK, a creole negro, yellow complexion, short, stout, and
very bow legged, which he may conceal by wearing a long
frock; he speaks good English, is very artful, and may endeavour
to pass as a freeman, or produce a false pass; he formerly
belonged to a Mr. O’Connor, who kept the Cross-Keys Tavern
in Spanish-Town, next to Mr. Hutchinson, Collector of the
Customs; then to Mr. Joseph Levein of this place, from whom
the subscriber purchased him; he is well known throughout the island.
Also, a quadroon woman, named BETSY, or ELIZABETH
STEVENSON, well known in this town, formerly belonged to
Madam Espeut, from whom she was purchased; she has only
four toes on one of her feet, and is supposed to be harboured by
a white man, who very lately was a prisoner in the Gaol of this
place, and who during some part of his confinement, concealed
her in prison.
The above reward will be paid to any person or persons who
shall prove to conviction by whom either of both of the above
runaways, are harboured; and Five Pounds for lodging them in
the any of the Gaols of Workhouses of this island, or delivering
them to their owner. All Masters of vessels are herebu cautioned
against employing, or carrying off either of the above slaves,
(as George particularly may attempt to effect his escape),
as the law will be strictly enforced, by
Ellis Wolfe.
