Whereas, our enemies make frequent excursions to the Islands and SeaCoasts, from whence they plunder Hay, Cattle and Sheep, which not only greatly injures many individuals, but also the publick, and strengthens the hands of our enemies: Therefore,

Resolved, That it be recommended to the Honourable [Provincial] Congress to take some effectual measure to secure the stock on the Islands and Sea-Coasts, to prevent it falling into the hands of our enemies.
