EDWIN, a Coromantee, a cooper by trade, 5 fet 9 or 10 inches high, slender made, very black complexion, and has a slight stuttrer in his speech; had on, when he went away,a check shirt, sheeeting trowsers, a blue cloth jacket, and a straw hat; he is well known at Montego-Bay, and has been several times in Kingston. FOOTE, a Mocho, likewise a cooper, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, stout made, large features, remarkable thick lips; was dressed the same as Edwin; he is also well known at Montego-Bay. LEVANT, an Eboe, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, very stout made, pleasant countenance, artful and plausible, has been some years employed in a drogger, and is known in most of the ports round the island. Masters of vessels are particularly cautioned against employing him, as it is likely he may attempt to pass as free, and endeavour to procure work on board ship. A reward of a Pistole for each will be paid on lodging them in any gaol or workhouse in the island, on application to Mr. Alex. Wilson, at the Wharf of Messrs. Crosman, Harris[inc], and Co. Kingston; or to JOHN MUNRO.
