Kingston, Sept 24, 1814 Absconded on Friday the 16th inst. a yellow-complexioned C N, named BILLY, marked ARN on the right shoulder, a blacksmith by trade, about 20 years of age, and 5 feet 3 inches high. He ran away about this time last year, was taken out of Portland Workhouse about five months since, and from the Morant-Bay Workhouse on the 26th June last, having escaped from the Negro conducting him from the former place. It is suspected that he is harboured in the neighbourhood of those places, or by a woman at Maroon-Town. […] JOHN ARNOLL
