  No copy now extant; Evans attributed this small title to the combined presses of John Dixon, Augustine Davis, and Thomas Nicolson, who had produced the substantial set of session laws enacted by the Assembly of October 1787; that combination resulted from production delays that plagued Dixon's office during Assembly sessions; yet, Dixon readily produced items required by the executive branch during the intervals between sessions; thus he had little problem in completing this very short house journal, as well as the one-page set of laws that accompanied this item in fulfilling his role as the public printer.
