Upon Motion of Mr John Greene Merchant, Ordered that he have Leave to ship to Philadelphia in the Sloop Fanny Nichols Hyman Master, a Quantity of Naval Stores, Deer Skins, Furr, Hemp and Indico, and any other Produce of this Country.

Whereas the General Congress at Philadelphia on the first Day of November 1775, Resolved that no Produce of the United Colonies be exported (except from Colony to Colony under the Direction of the Committees of Inspection and Observation, and except from one part to another of the same Colony) before the first Day of March next, without the Permission and Order of the Congress;

This Committee have thought it expedient and necessary that the several Commodities to be exported should be inspected agreable to Law, Do therefore Resolve that such Commodities as by the Inspection Law are required and directed to be inspected, shall be inspected at the several Ports of Exportation, within this District, and each Town and County Committee shall require an Inspectors Certificate for the Produce to be exported, where there are Inspectors appointed, from the Exporter thereof, before Permission is given to Vessels to depart.

Ordered that a Copy of this Resolve be sent to the several Committees in this District.
