Fifteen Dollars reward. Ran away, from the Subscriber the 26th of Jan. last, a creole Negro man, named BUTE, about 20 years of age, remarkably well made and handsome featured, in stature about 5 ft. 6 or 7 in. high, very plausible, and much acquainted throughout the island, being bred a chaise-boy by the late JOHN STOUT, dec.; was after that hired as postilion and waiting man to sundry gentlemen in Kingston. In the year 1790 he was put to learn the carpenter's business, and may pass himself as such. All persons are requested to be cautious in harbouring or employing said Negro, as the law will be put in force against them; and a further reward at twenty Pounds will be given upon proof of any white person harbouring him; or thirty Shillings, if a person of presumably meaning 'Christian'. colour, on conviction.
