ROYAL GAZETTE.

Saturday, October 28, 1815.

Runaway, from the service of the Civil Government - three Negro-Men, named Jemmy, Davy, and Quasby. Jemmy disappeared on Monday the 16th, Davy on Monday the 23d ultimo, and Quasby some months ago. Jemmy is quite black, and rather elderly, he was formerly Boat-Captain to the late Commandeur of Essequebo, and is supposed will endeavour to get among his old acquaintances in the neighbourhood of Fort-Island, where he has resided many years, and pass himself for one of the old people permitted to remain there. Davy is a well made yellow-skinned young man, has a number of scars about his back and shoulders, has lost one of the toes of his right foot, and some of his front teeth; supposed to be in town. Quasby is about the same age as Jemmy, and also supposed to be harboured in the river Essequebo. - Whoever will apprehend the above Negroes, shall be rewarded, and the Law enforced against any one found harbouring them.
H. B. Fraser, Commissary.
