Most of the Artificers in Boston this morning refused to work on a Brig building for the Crown. Whereupon the Admiral. having the Governors permission, immediately sent four Press Gangs, under the Command of Captain [John] Linzee to secure all the Shipwrights, Caulkers and Seamen they could lay hold of and send them on board the flag Ship which was accordingly done: between two and three hundred men were thus impressed, among whom, were found many sailors, who were taken for the Ships, and the Artificers, after some days confinement, consented to work and were released.
