Place Issued: Norfolk
Issuing Press: Uncertain

Notes
Petitioners asked for a new ferry on the Elizabeth River under the control of the Norfolk Borough Hustings Court; the Assembly declined to act on the request during this session. Sheet lacks colophon; undoubtedly a Norfolk-issued imprint, but the multiplicity of presses then operating there precludes an attribution to any specific one without further evidence.
