The Court of Mayor and Aldermen declares that it has come to their attention that a great many people have violated orders prohibiting trade with Indians at Albany. The new order states that such practices have led to disturbances in the area, and states that a fine will be imposed upon anyone caught trading fur with Indians in Albany.
