This day the
Freeholders meet pursuant to agreement, at the State House, and choose by
ballot, sixty inhabitants for committee men, as was before agreed upon; but as
the Southern District complained that it was not fully represented, they
therefore requested that four of their District might be added to the sixty
that were chosen, the which was granted them, and also three were afterwards
added on the Northern Liberty account. Within the week past, some vessels are
arrived from Ireland, and one from Holland, with a number of passengers.
