On Friday last, a good deal of company being in town at the
Oyer and Terminer court, our gratitude and thankfulness upon
the joyful occasion of the repeal of the Stamp Act, . . .
was manifested here by general illuminations, and a ball and
elegant entertainment at the Capitol, at which was present
his honour the Governour, many of the members of his
Majesty's council, and a large and genteel company of ladies
and gentlemen, who spent the evening with much mirth and
decorum, and drank all the loyal and patriotic toasts.
