Kingston, Jan. 27, 1800. RAN AWAY, a few days before Christmas last, from Birnam- Wood Plantation, in the parish of St. George, a Mulatto Lad, named JEMMY, by trade a carpenter, middle-sized, with curly hair, and rather a smiling countenance, formerly the property of Mr. David Laing, Carpenter, at the sale of whose Carpenter Negroes the subscriber purchased him. He may probably attempt to pass himself for a free man, and has been seen working on board vessels in the harbour, particularly in landing shingles from a vessel, at Mr. Boswell’s wharf, during the Christmas Holidays. He is supposed to be harboured about the yard, late Mr. Laing’s, at the East End. A reward of FIVE POUNDS will be given to amy person who will deliver him to the Subscriber, or to the Overseer of the above Plantation, or lodge him in any workhouse; and Twenty Pounds will be paid on conviction of the party by whom he may be harboured, if a white person, or Ten Pounds, if by a negro or a person of colour. Masters of vessels are warned against employing him, or carrying him off the island, as the penalties of the Law, which are very severe, will be enforced against them. ALEXANDER AIKMAN.
