Spanish-Town, May 23, 1809.
RANAWAY, an able stout negro man, named DUKE, about
five feet ten inches in height, but stoops very much; he has lost
some of his teeth, and one of his toes; wears one ear ring. He
went away with a large and small basket, which he was ordered
to carry to Westmorland, and being very cunning and sensible,
he may impose and say he is free. It is supposed he is marked
on one shoulder ML in one, but not certain. Any person taking
up the said negro, and lodging him in the workhouse, shall
receive, upon application to John G. Lewis, esq. in this town,
nine dollars reward.
