Spanish-Town Workhouse,
August 21, 1809.
ESCAPED from this Workhouse, TWO FELONS, by breaking
open a door locked, and getting through the house where the
engines are kept, a negro man named PROMISE, a Chamba,
marked HMK, in one, right shoulder, five feet two inches; he
had a very bad sore on his left leg, having been shot in the
woods and wounded, walks with a stick, and had a chain and
collar on. PEGGY, a creole, marked both cheeks, breats, and
shoulders, four feet eleven inches, stout made. She has relations
at Rock-River: a sister and two brothers at Wynn’s estate,
St. Dorothy: It is strongly supposed they are harboured
by some negroes on the above properties. A PISTOLE reward
will be paid for the apprehension of each, and lodging them in
the workhouse; and a further reward of FIFTY POUNDS, on
proving to conviction by whom they are harboured, concealed,
or employed.
