At a meeting of the Committee of Inspection, at the Library Chamber, to determine what ought to be done with respect to a vessel that arrived here this day from Bristol, supposed to have goods and merchandise for Captain Thomas Coulson on board:

Voted, That Mr. Benjamin Mussey, Captain Joseph McLellan, and Mr. Benjamin Titcomb, be a Committee to employ some person to see that no goods are landed from said vessel during the debates of the Committee of Inspection, and to desire that Captain Coulson and the Master of said vessel would attend this Committee.

Captain Coulson and the Master accordingly attended; and being asked if said vessel came from Bristol, and what she had on board, answered that she did come from Bristol, and had on board Rigging, Sails and Stores for a new Ship lately built here by Captain Coulson.

Voted, That Captain Joseph McLellan, Mr. Jedidiah Cobb, Mr. Benjamin Mussey, and Mr. Samuel Freeman be a Committee to go on board said vessel, or employ some other persons to go on board her, to see whether she has on board any goods other than the Rigging, Sails, and Stores for said new Ship.

The meeting was then adjourned to eight o'clock tomorrow morning to meet at the Library Chamber, and that in the mean time the absent members be desired to attend.
