[Council to His Excy Govr. Jefferson.]

Sir We have received Information that a certain James Ander-
son, a Subject of this State, was captured in one of the Barges or
Gallies which have, for some Time past, infested our Bay and inter-
rupted our Trade, by Capt³ Yellott & Folger and carried into the
the State of Virginia, and is now confined at Richmond. Anderson,
before and since our Governm^t was formed, lived on Fell's Point in
Baltimore Town, took the Oath of Allegiance and Fidelity to the
State prescribed by Law, was appointed and commissioned a Lieuten-
ant in one of our Gallies, and from his Activity and apparent Zeal,
was always reputed a Friend to America and entrusted with the
Command of a Vessel owned by some Gentlemen in Baltimore which
he carried to New York; he is well acquainted with our Bay and has
committed great Depredations on the Property of our Inhabitants.
The above Recapitulation of Facts renders it unnecessary to suggest
