Run away from the Subscriber, the following slaves, viz., MARY, a mulatto woman, a seamstress, with her two children NED and WILLIAM. SAM (the above Mary's brother) [sic], a mulatto fellow, a carpenter by trade; the above mulattoes pass as free people, but the contrary will be shewn to any person by the Subscriber. CATALINA, a young woman, with her child JOHN. All of the above slaves were formerly the property of MOSES LAMERA, dec. Whoever apprehends and brings them to me in Kingston, shall be handsomely rewarded; and if proof can be had of their being harboured by any person or persons, they may depend upon being prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the law; if they will deliver up themselves to me in the course of this week, they shall be kindly received. ISAAC FEURTADO
