| Description | It was agreed that Mr. Lancaster should continue as Lecturer at St. Peter's.
It was ordered that an assessment of about £30 should be made upon the inhabitants, and that citizens who had not returned to their habitations should also be assessed.
It was also ordered that the remainder of the assessment made in the time of the Infection should be collected, and that those who refused to pay should be proceeded against.
As there were some fears of the enemy's approach, it was agreed that the City should immediately be put in a posture of defence, that Captain William Wright should be Captain of a foot company to be raised in the City, and that he should choose his officers. |
