RAN AWAY, in May last, a Creole Negro Man, about 30 years of age, named BUTE, by trade a carpenter and sawyer, and is well known in many parts of this island; he has also enticed away his mother, PATHENIA, an aged woman, and has been known in Kingston for many years, as a cook amd market-woman. – Bute may attempt to pass as free, being very plausible, and a remarkable likely fellow; he took with him, a stock of good wearing apparel. – It is supposed he has gone over to St. Elizabeth’s, where he some years back was detained for a considerable time, on the pretence that the subscriber’s title was not sufficient, and was afterwards recovered by due course of law. – The above Reward of Seventy Pounds will be paid, on proving to conviction by whom the above negroes may be harboured , or Thirty-Five Pounds for each; and Five Pounds for Bute and Fifty Shillings for his mother, will be paid for lodging them, or either of them, in any workhouse in this island. Captains of vessels are cautioned against taking them from off the island, as the law will be put in force to the fullest extent. H. H. KENNELLY
