1\ Purlsiuance of the order of yesterday,
John Blutt being linnmoned, made his
appearance; and it being proved that the
said john Blntt has, notwithstanding his
(singugsi'ement in the Virgznii (iLl'LCHC ot'the
Ict—)tll of jnnuury lad., continued to [all his
goods at an extrarsiigant price, and urging
in his defence that he had instructions from
his employers, silolm and George Fowler,
of Alexandria, to sell his goods at the
price he has sold them, the committcc
takinsr it into their consideration, and as
the laid jolm Blatt is a youth under the
direc'tion and in the power of his" employ
ers, ;fliey have agreed not to act with
rifronfl against him, but have come to the
following resolution-s :
tst. That it is their opinion that he pre
s ume not to sell one article of ods more
during his stay'in Rapphi _ ' river, but
that he depart as soon as he can take into
his vessel the grain and other eommodities
belonging to the said John and Geor e
- Fowler,-and, when this is done, that. e
return with his vessel to his employerl
forthwith ; and that this their determina- ct
tion be immediate] transmitted to the
committcc of Pain ax county, to enable
that conmlittee to examine in a more ar—
ticular manner into the conduct.- of the said
Fowlers touching this matter. _ - .
zd. Thatsizcttrade carried on in small,
vessels, running up and down the several,
rivers and creeks in this colony, may be,
productive ofthe worst consequences, and?
may defeat theassociation total] ; as, nn--si
del—pretence oftranspordng :: from one?
