Nicholas Low permitted to send a cargo of Provisions to the West-Indies

v5:1390

Mr˙ Nicholas Low had, on the 26th day of February last, obtained from the Provincial Congress a Permit to ship Flaxseed and Lumber on board of the Ship Polly, Thomas Kennedy Master, to be exported to Cork, in Ireland, in return for Military Stores imported, to the amount of eight hundred and ninety-six Pounds and nine Pence, which he brought back and returned to the Committee of Safety. Mr˙ Low informed the Committee that he had laded the said Flaxseed and Lumber, but that, through the stoppage of the Ports by the Ships-of-War, he cannot get the said Vessel and Cargo out of Port: and therefore requested that he might have a permit to export to the amount of the sum above-mentioned, in Provisions, to the West-Indies, in lieu of the said Flaxseed and Lumber, on condition that the same shall not be exported:

"Ordered, That Mr˙ Nicholas Low be permitted to export Provisions to the West-Indies to the amount of eight hundred and ninety-six Pounds and nine Pence, in lieu of the said Flaxseed and Lumber, on condition that the said Flaxseed and Lumber shall not be exported.

"To the General Committee of the City of New-York, and to Mr˙ Ray and Colonel Hyer, their sub-Committee, and to Captain Mercier."
