• notes: Only surviving copy, held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia, has a manuscript date of December 15, 1806, reflecting the date it was submitted to the Assembly; the petition asked that the jurisdiction of the city's Hustings Court be extended to the waters of the harbor and authorize the harbormasters to act as policemen; the request was referred to committee and then not acted upon during this Assembly session.
  Sheet lacks colophon; while evidently a Norfolk imprint, item does not indicate the particular press issuing this sheet, so the indeterminacy here.
