Old Harbour, Dec. 15, 1809.
RANAWAY from the Subscriber, a negro man, named
QUASHIE, a Coromantee, about five feet nine or ten inches
high, slender made, stammers very much, and is marked on
one or both shoulders BC: he is well known as a fisherman
about Old Harbour, Clarendon Bay, and Salt River; was seen
going to Kingston, where he is well known and is accustomed
to work on board of ships. This is to caution all masters of
ships from harbouring the said negro, as the law will be strictly
enforced against them. A reward of one Pistole is offered to
any person that will apprehend and lodge in the workhouse the
said negro, or bring him to the subscriber; and a further reward
of Five Pounds will be paid to any person that can prove by whom he is harboured.
