PC.773.153
20-27 Dec 1773:1951 (363)
This morning, at 10 o'clock, agreeable to printed
notifications and the ringing of bells, the inhabitants of
this city assembled at the State-house to consult on
suitable steps to be pursued respecting the chartered Ship,
Captain Ayres, arrived at Gloucester Point yesterday, with
the East-India Company's tea, and we learn that the result
of the meeting was, that no report should be made at the
custom-house, that the ship should this day proceed to
Reedy-Island, about 60 miles from hence, and that the
Captain should depart to-morrow to go on board, and proceed
instantly to London; which requisition he, with great
politeness and cheerfulness, readily consented to.
