4 May 1774:32 (1/20)
The sense of the city relative to the landing the India
Company's tea, being signified to Capt. Lockyer, by the
committee, nevertheless, it is the desire of a number of the
citizens, that at his departure from hence, he should see,
with his own eyes, their detestation of the measures pursued
by the ministry and the India company, to enslave this
country.  This will be declared by the convention of the
people at his departure from this city; which will be on
next Saturday morning, about nine o'clock, when no doubt
every friend to this country will attend.  The bells will
give the notice about an hour before he embarks from
Murray's wharf.  New York, April 21, 1774.  By order of the
Committee.
