Absconded, from this place, an American Negro man named BOB, the property of Mr. JAMES JOHNSON (but late of ALEXANDER AINSLIE, carpenter, dec.) [sic], by trade a carpenter,
rather blind of the right eye, about 5 ft. 9 in. high, and supposed to be about 35 years of age. Has several times passed himself as a free Negro, and probably now does the same. Whoever secures the said Negro, and gives notice, either to Mr. Walter Adam or Edward Pitt, of Montego Bay, shall receive five Pounds reward, or, upon proof of any master of a vessel taking him off the island (which is supposed to be the case) shall receive ten Pounds reward, upon conviction.
