Kingston, Jan. 14, 1806. A NEGRO MAN, named DUKE, who was learning the trade of a Cooper, having absented himself since the 20th of October last, a reward of Ten Dollars, with all expences, will be paid for apprehending him. He is about twenty years of age, five feet eight inches high, has very full eyes, and an impediment in his speech; as he could also work as a Tailor, it is supposed he employs himself that way for the negroes on the plantations in Liguanea.
