A BRIEF

T having pleafed Almighty GOD to permit a Fic to break out in the Town of Boflon, on the 20th
Inftant, and go rage in fuch manner as to elude all Means for fuppreffing the fame, until it had in a few
Hours deftroyed (according to the best Information that can be obtained in the prefent Confusion) Onc
Hundred and feventy-four Dwelling-Houfes, and as many Warehouses, Shops and other Buildings; the Lofs
whereof, with the Furniture and Goods therein, amount, at a moderate Computation, to One Hundred Tieufond
Pounds Sterling, and Two Hundred and Twenty Families are turned out of Doors, the greatest Part of whom
reduced
incapable of fubúfling themselves and standi
mediate Relief

Tus two Houses having, upon my Recommendation, taken thele calamitous Circumstances into Confideration,
and judging the Diffrefs to be fo great and extenfive as to require the Charity of all well difpofed Perfons to miti-
gate and relieve the fame, have defired me to fend BRIEFS throughout the Province, ftrongly recommending
the unhappy Cafe of these poor People to the Inhabitants, and calling upon them for a general Contribution for
their Relief:

DO hereby therefore most earnestly recommend it to all, to express their Chriflian Benevolence on this Occafion, by contributing in Proportion to the Means with which GOD has blessed them, and to the Distresses of these worthy Objects of their Charity; and do further defire, I hat what may be collected on this Occafion may be remitted to the Sele?-Men and Overleers of the Poor of the Town of Baflon, to be by them distributed among the Sufferers, as they in their Discretion shall judge proper.

AND I do require the Minifters of the feveral Churches and Farishes within this Province to read or caufe to be
read this Brief to their respective Congregations, on the First Loan's-Day after they receive the fame, or on the
Day appointed for a General FAST the Third of April next, as they fhall judge most convenient.

GIVEN at the Council-Chamber in Boston the Twenty-fourth Day of March, 1760, in the Thirty-third
Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Second, by the Grace of GOD, of Great-Brieun, ›
France and Ireland, KING, Defender of the Faith, Sze.
