Rob: Gellie's house inconyenient for an Ordinary by reason of juryes & Attorneyes

Itt is considered by this Board that the house wherein Robert Gellie keeps Ordinary in the Citty of St Maryes is very inconvenient and prejudiciall to the Publick for that att

the time of Provinciall Courts the juryes, Attorneyes and other
suitors to the said Court are at the said House often detained
and disordered when they ought to give their attendance upon
the said Court, alsoe the said House being near to the
State House wherein the Publick Offices of this

and clerkes province are kept, the clerkes of the said Offices are
often found to frequent the said House by which means there

is great occasion to suspect the Publick affairs of this Province
are much impeded by reason of the said Ordinary.

Will consider to have the same suppressed.

This board will therefore in a few days con- sider of a meanes whereby the said Ordinary may be suppressed.
