Transcription: Liguanea, Dec. 5, 1801. Twenty-five Pounds Reward. ABSCONDED, about the 15th of March last, a yellow-skinned negro, named ALLICK, stout built, and by trade a taylor; formerly the property of the late Samuel Gregory, Esq. As he has not been accustomed to field labour, he obtained a line from his present owner, Capt. Wm. G. Polson, signifying, that if he found a person to buy him, he would be sold; some people employ him on the strength of that line, or at least take a trial of him, and send him, when they please, about his business. A reward of Five Pounds will be given to any person delivering him in any workhouse, or by delivering him to Mr. John Dallas, Princes-Street, Kingston, or to the subscriber, in Liguanea; and the above reward, on proving to conviction by whom he is employed after this date: WM. POLSON, Attorney to the Proprietor.
