Savanna-la-Mar, June 27, 1815
FIVE POUNDS REWARD
Runaway, about four weeks ago, a Negro Man, named MARQUIS,
23 or 24 years of age, of a dark complexion, about 5
feet 8 inches high, and belonging to Haddo estate, in Westmorland:
He has been employed as a Waiting-Man, and is very
capable as such, if he pleases. It is strongly suspected he is
gone to Kingston, and, as he is very plausible, will endeavour
to pass as a free man, as he did once before, some years ago,
when he hired himself to an Officer at Up-Park Camp, and he
may have the same plan now in view, or may endeavour to get
off the island. […]
Any Person securing and lodging him safe in any Workhouse
shall receive the above Reward, on application to Charles Payne
at Savanna-la-Mar, or to Messrs.
