RANAWAY from St. Andrew’s workhouse, about three months ago, a creole sambo man, named GEORGE BROWN, the property of the subscriber; he is well known in Kingston, and Spanish-Town, he was formerly a blacksmith. As he is extremely artful and plausible, he perhaps will change his name and produce false tickets, he is marked on both breasts [carrée, une lettre par angle et une lettre au milieu, de gauche à droite L C L D]. Also a black wench named PATIENCE, a washerwoman, lame in the knees, LR marked on one breast, she was formerly belonging to a black woman, named Margaret Sutton, of Kingston; she ranaway from the above pen two years since, and is higling from Kingston to Fort Augusta and Hunt’s Bay; eight dollars will be given for securing each of them in any workhouse.
