Run away, from Orange Grove in the parish of Trelawny, the following Negroes: ADAM, a new Negro man about 37 years of age, of the Mundingo country, speaks very little English, slim made, and has lost several of his fore teeth. Also, KATE and MILLY, of the same country [Mandingo], stout made, from 20 to 25 years of age, speaks but little English, and has their country marks on their face; they are all marked on the right shoulder H W G, ◊ on top, and absconded about the 10th of April 1782. GEORGE, a creole about 23 years of age, tall and stout made, has rather thick lips, and absconded about the 19th of March 1782; is marked on both shoulders and breast H W G, ◊ on top, a sensible fellow, and passes for a free man by the name of GEORGE RODNEY, can work at the carpenter's business and shoe horses: it is supposed he is harboured about the mountains of St. James, or gone to Hanover or Westmoreland. Also, DICK, a middle size Negro, of the Eboe country, about 27 years of age, speaks tolerable good English, has been in the country several years, and absconded about the 5th of April last, is marked as the rest [HW G,◊ on top], and supposed to be harboured by some Negroes about Dundee Estate or in that neighbourhood. Any person securing any of the above Negroes in the gaols or workhouses of this island, and will give information to Ephraim Dunn, Esq., St. Ann, or the Subscriber as above, shall receive a Half-Joe reward for each, and all reasonable charges; but if harboured or concealed, on conviction of the offender, shall receive twenty Pounds for George, and ten Pounds for each of the others. HENRY WISDOM GALLIMORE.
