Full Description:
MacKenzie to Howe. Southgate. Receipt of letter enclosing memorial from Nicholas Ashton & Co, to Lords of the Treasury. Gives information respecting circumstances on which his claim is founded by quoting the chief objects of the proclamation of 17 July 1777 with regard to imports and exports, particularly the prohibition of exports from New York once landed there. Does not know how far the memorialist may have suffered from this, but the Superintendent was attentive in reporting singular cases and that of Ashton & Co. was not communicated in any part of his correspondence.
