Kingston, 12th June, 1806.
FIFTY POUNDS REWARD.
RAN away yesterday, a negro man named JOHN, a creole,
about 21 years of age, of a yellow complexion, about 5 feet 6
inches high, speaks good English and French, writes a little,
and remarkably artful; about two years ago he imposed himself
as a free person, on a Captain of one of his Masjety’s ships,
by the name of John Brown; he is marked on one shoulder D.
G. and a small scar on one temple, has excellent cloaths. Previous
to his absenting himself, he picked the lock of a drawer,
and took about Sixteen Pounds out in small gold and silver;
no doubt he will attempt to get off in the next fleet. The above
reward will be given to any person, proving to conviction by
whom he is harboured; and Eight Dollars, on his being lodged
in any Gaol or Workhouse, onb application to
D. GULLY.
N. B. He is a Joiner by trade.
