Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, Plimouth, ss.
A Libel is filed before me against the sloop called the Sally, burthen about 75 tons, commanded by Cornelius White, and said to be improved in supplying the Fleet and Army employed against the United Colonies, and brought into the county of Plimouth. And the court erected to try and condemn all vessels that shall be found infesting the sea coast of America, and brought into either of the counties of Plimouth, Barnstable Bristol, Nantucket or Dukes county, will be held at the court house in Plymouth on Thursday the 13th day of June 1776 at the hour of ten in the forenoon, to try the justice of the said capture, of which this notice is given, pursuant to the laws of the colony aforesaid to all persons claiming property in said vessel or cargo, or any ways concerned therein, that they may appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the said vessel, with her cargo and appurtenances should not be condemned.
N. Cushing, Judge of said Court
