At a meeting of the committee of Gloucester, at the court house on Tuesday the 2d of May 1775.
Resolved, That we will not ship a single hogshead of tobacco to Great Britain until the determination of the Continental Congress, respecting exportation, be known.
Resolved, That we deem the resolution of our committee last November, not to ship any tobacco in future to Mr. Norton's house, as still obligatory; the ship Virginia having arrived without the concessions then required.2
