The suspect was imprisoned and found to be carrying a total of one hundred pounds. Advertises the soon-to-be-published "A Brief Narrative of the Case and Tryal of John Peter Zenger, Printer of the the New-York weekly journal." Also advertises the the selling of the recently published "The Charter of the City of New-York" at three shillings a piece.
The journal includes a section on foreign affairs, entries and departures of the New York Customs House, and advertisements. Unlike other issues, this issue does not include a section for local New York news.
