Whereas as the Place of one of the Kiezers or Electors of this River has become Vacant by the death of Franc[cedilla]ois Sabbathier Esqr. and it being necessary by the Election of a new Member, again to complete the [?]ound of Kiezers aforesaid, I therefore have thought fit to Issue this my Proclamation, thereby calling on all the Inhabitants of this Colony, who being possessed of five and Twenty Slaves or more, are Qualified by the Constitutional Laws of the Colony to vote for the Election of Kiezers, now to give in their Votes for a new Kiezer, in the room of the late Franc[cedilla]ois Sabbathier Esqr. A Sealed Box being placed from this day at the King's House in Stabroek, for the purpose of receiving the said Votes, which must be signed by the Persons giving them in and sealed.
The Box to be opened and the Votes to be examined in my Presence and in that of two Members of the Court and the Secretary of the Colony, at the expiration of Fourteen days from this date, and consequently on the 15th May next ensuing, when the Person returned by the Majority of the Votes, shall be declared Kiezer accordingly.
Given at the King's House in Stabroek, Demerary, this 30th day of April 1804.
Robert Nicholson, Lt. Gov.
By Command,
P. F. Tinne, D. Secty.

Whereas a Petition was some time ago presented to The Honble. Court of Policy of these Colonies, by the Commissaries of of [sic] the Proprietors of Lots of Land on the front Land of the late Labourgade Estate, now commonly called Cumingsburg, praying in the name of their Constituents that the Court would be pleased to make Regulations for the Management of Affairs in Cumingsburg aforesaid, And Whereas the Court on these urgent representations, stating, among other matters, the bad and decayed state of the front dam of Cumingsburg, and the Inability they were under of providing for the repairing of the same and thereby preventing the Injury and Inconvenience sustained not only by the Proprietors of Lots in particular, but by the Public at large from the Public Road being repeatedly overflowed at high Spring Tides, has been induced to cause a Plan to be drawn up with the assistance of the Commissaries aforesaid, for the future direction of Affairs in Cumingsburg
Now these are to give Notice to all whom it may concern, that the Court, previous to determining on the beforementioned Plan and proposed Regulations, have appointed a Committee of two of their Members, Viz. The Honble G. H. Trotz and F. Kroll Esqrs. attended by the Secretary, to lay the said Plan before the Proprietors of Lots, at a Meeting to be held for that purpose, and after hearing their remarks thereon, to make a Report to the Court, and that the said Committee will in consequence sit for the purpose abovementioned, at the Colony House in Stabroek, on Tuesday the 15th Inst. when all Persons being Proprietors of or concerned in Lots of Land in Cumingsburg, are desired to attend accordingly.
Stabroek, Demerary, 4th May 1804.
By Command of the Court of Policy,
