W'HEREAS there is great reaf nta believe
that many Persons, not only comeiJ^
this city, without any pass or permiffbn, but
take up a residence here, without either their
names, characters or occupations being re,-
ported at any public office.
In order therefore to remedy these irregula
rities, and prevent the like in future, it is
hereby ordered and direfled, that ell house
holders within the city, do give in at the
Office of Police, on or before the 19th instant,
the names and descriptions of such persons as
are at present, or may become within that
time, lodgers in their refpe&ive habitations;
and that from and after the said 19th instant,
all flrangers who may come into this city, do
immediately, on their arrival, report them
feives to the Office of Police, where they will
receive certificates (provided their pretentions
be well founded) to entitle them to take up
their abode. And all inhabitants are hereby
ftri&ly forbid to receive into their houses any
Brangers, as lodgers, except such as can pro
duce the required certificate; and -are further
enjoined to report the names of those that may
be so admitted, to the said Office of Police,
within twenty four hours, after admission, in

passengers not having the accustomed passports
from the Commandant.
Any person or persons transgressing the a
bove rules and regulations will be considered

them.

WHEREAS the storing of pitch, tar,
turpentine, rosin, spirits of turpen
tine, or Shingles in any houses, store-houses,
cellars, cr lodging them on the wharfs, or in

It is therefore ordered and directed, that all
persons who have pitch, tar, turpentine, ro
sin, spirits of turpentine, or shingles (except

Ship chandlers are allowed to have near
their doors, in the open street, and not in any
building cr inclofcre, pitch, tar, rosin and tur

ing of pitch, tar, turpentine, rosin, spirits of
turpentine, contrary to the true intent and
meaning of this order, flmil be deprived of

and applied as before mentioned.
As a puntlual compliance with these regu

point out all dilinquents to the officers of po
lice.
