Mount-Pleasant, St. Elizabeth’s, August 8, 1809. RANAWAY, from the subscriber, on the 28th March last, a negro man named CHARLES: Previous to which he was employed as a fisherman, at Long Acre. He was, not long since, seen near the Slipe pen. Also, ranaway, from the Hope plantation, in the parish of Vere, the property of the said subscriber, another negro man slave named WILLIAM, a Coromantee, formerly to the estate of James Cooper Wright, Esq. dec. He has a sore on one of his legs, or the scar thereof, which occasoinally breaks out; he is an artful fellow, and may endeavour to pass off as a free man; he has some impediment in his speech; he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; he was met with shortly after his departure, (in the beginning of July last,) on the king’s road, between Emmaus and Burnt Ground pens’, in this parish. Whoever will lodge either of the said slaves in any workhouse in this island, shall receive Half-a-Joe reward; and, on proving to conviction by whom harboured, the sum of Two Doubloons. GEORGE GRAHAM STONE.
