In particular, they request that "Negroes be prevented from Galloping Horses &c through the Streets of the said Town"; that "every person whatever be prevented from Trading with negro slaves or retailing Spiritous Liquors to them on board of vessels with the Harbour of Georgetown"; and that "every person be prevented from Trading with Negro and other Slaves within the Rivers of the said District."
