Plimouth, (in Massachusetts Province) Feb. 17.  A few days
since a vessel arrived here from Annapolis-Royal, John
Staples, Master, and brought with him a stamp'd clearance;
the Sons of Liberty soon heard of it and assembled to the
number of 4 or 500, and marched in procession from the Tree
of Liberty, near the town house, with drums beating and
banners flying, the wharff where the vessel lay, and
demanded the detestable object of their resentment, which
the Master of the vessel very readily delivered up. . .
