RECOMMENDATION TO THE COMMITTEE OF POPLIN RESPECTING ZACCHEUS CLOUGH.

Colony of New Hampshire, in Committee of Safety, July 20, 1776.

Upon considering the complaint of Zaccheus Clough, Esquire, of Poplin, representing that he hath been much injured in his character by designing persons, who (he says) have falsely insinuated to the publick that he converted to his own use a Donation with which he was intrusted by the Parish of said Poplin to deliver persons properly appointed to receive the same, for the use of the Poor of Boston, suffering by the Port Bill:

The Committee recommend that the Committee of said Poplin would call in to their aid the Committees of two of the nearest Towns or Parishes to them, jointly to sit and hear all accusations against said Clough, on the aforesaid affair, and also his defence thereon, giving notice of the time and place of meeting, sufficient for his accusers to be present; and, after impartially hearing the matter, to declare their opinion thereon, that all concerned may be satisfied of the truth of the premises.
M˙ WEARE, Chairman.
