of the weekly news-papers of this city, some time
since, advising that the Commissary of Military stores
would receive gun-powder into the State Magazine, from
the owners or possessors thereof, neverthtlefs the subscri
ber has reason to believe, that several persons, as well
merchants as others, for want of knowing the penalties
they are fubjed to by a law now in force, for not fending
their gun powder to the said Magazine, have retained the
fame in their houses, stores, &c. to the great danger of
the neighbouring inhabitants. To the intent therefore
that no person may plead ignorance in the premises, I do
hereby inform all whom it may concern, that the follow
ing fedion is part of the law abovementioned, which
they would do well to ©bferve, as the subscriber will be
obliged to put the said law Rridly in execution against
all delinquents.

der, under the penalty of ten pounds for every offence.

ficer or his deputy, or servant, deliver all the powder so
brought into the said port aforefaid, unto the said officer
