REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROLLS AND DOCU- MENTS.


[Since the completion of Volume XVI., it has been decided to publish some remaining documents relating to the Revolutionary war (a portion of which were in the state archives, and the re- mainder copies procured from Washington) at the beginning of this volume, instead of inserting them chronologically, according to the editor's design when the preface to Volume XVI. was written. The references at the beginning of the documents (R. 5-5, etc.) refer to volume and page of "Miscellaneous Revolutionary War Documents," in the office of the secretary of state, where the originals may be found. - ED.]

Vote of Congress concerning Suits at Lawe.


In Provincial Congress at Exeter June 8 1775


This body having taken into consideration the great stagnation of trade and the difficulty to which their constituants are reduced by the unhappy dispute with Great Brittain as to the turning either their real or personal Estates into Cash think it necessary to recom- mend for the present all possible lenity & forbearence in Creditors towards those who may stand indebted to them & that they avoid multiplying suits at Law & especially the carrying them to such length as the levying Execution on real Estates which must in this case (in our apprehension) be sold much below the real value- we must particularly recommend this lenity & forbearance in refference to such who have or may ingage as officers & soldiers in the defence of the invaded rights & liberties of America- And we further recommend to Debtors all possible care & endeavor to discharge to the utmost of their power all just demands upon them.


Voted & a copy sent to the press June 8 1775
