It is also requested that those who are indebted to the Ferry, will pay the same before the 31st inst. in order to avoid those disagreeable occurrences which, in case of non-payment, must ensue.
March 10th. Lelyveld.

All those who have incurred Fines by Non-Attendance at the Militia Parades, are hereby desired immediately to call and pay the same; that being the only way to prevent the adoption of measures, which, however disagreeable to the feelings of the Undersigned, as it is his duty, he otherwise must have recourse to.
