Montego-Bay, March 18, 1814. RANAWAY from the subscriber early on Wednesday morning, a negro man boy named Jack, alias John Brown, by trade a Carpenter: he was met between this place and Falmouth, going to Windward, and enquiring the road to Town. He is a stout black good looking negro, and is marked both shoulders W, in a square, and has the marks of a flogging on his back. When he was met he was in company with a mulatto boy belonging to CASANDRA GREGORY, named Denga, who is also runaway, and had a saew and bundle with them. – It is supposed that they will endeavour to get off the island, therefore all Captains of Ships are cautioned from employing them, and any person apprehending the above negro shall receive A Pistole by applying to the subscriber. WM. P. WALKER. P. S. The above negro was taken up on the 20th of last month, on Messrs. Hoseason and Bank’s wharf, Kingston, (in company with a brown man,) and put into the workhouse until the 26th, when he was sent on board of the schooner Montego-Bay, but made his escape at Black-River. He had on a blue jacket and trowsers, his hat covered with canvas, and passes hinself as a free American, of the name of John Brown; he was some time ago employed as a sailor, on board of the sloop Young Cooper of Port-Antonio, and it is supposed he will endeavour to get employment on board of some drogger. All Captains are therefore cautioned against employing them. Two Doubloons reward are hereby offered to any person apprehending the above slave, and lodging them in any gaol or workhouse in the island, on giving information to the subscriber.
