Victualling-Office, Port-Royal, June 26, 1802. Five Pounds Six Shillings & Eight Pence. RAN AWAY, about six months ago, from the New Bake-House, in the town of Port-Royal, a Negro Man named TOM, a baker by trade, about 21 years of age, creole of Spanish Town. – He is remarkable in having both legs much bent by a barrell falling on them; marked LAUDE on the right shoulder. He has been lately seen at Up-Park-Camp, and about Kingston, taking care of horses. A reward of Five Pounds Six Shillings and Eight Pence will be paid to whoever will bring him to the subscriber, or lodge him in the workhouse; and Fifty Pounds to whoever can prove by whom he may be harboured.
