"... A Petition of Lieutn. Collo. Adam Stephens of the Virginia Regiment was
presented to the House and read Setting forth as Viz.

That 2 Companys were detached from the Said Regiment and transported hither at a
very Great Expence of Virginia, for the Protection & Defence of this Province.
That for discharging the Arrears due to the said Companys, the Government of
Virginia Sent the Petitioner 56 Barrells & 489 bags of bread & 58 barrels of
Flour to be disposed of here to raise Money for that Purpose; that Selling the
said Bread & Flour at Public Auction must be attended with a Considerable Loss,
to prevent which, the Petitioner put the same into the hands of Benjamin Stead
(who advanced him a Sum Sufficient to pay the said two Companys) to be disposed
of to the best advantage; that the Petitioner is informed that a duty is imposed
by a Law of this Province on all Bread & flour imported & therefore prays a
Remission of the duty.

Resolved that the Prayer of the Petition be granted & that a Resolution be
prepared for that Purpose to be Sent to the Governor & Council for their
Concurrence...."
