the Continental Bills, reported, that on full consideration of the importance and delicacy of the case, they were of opinion that this Committee ought to refer the same to the General Congress, that such measures may be ordered by them as will give full and effectual remedy in this case, before any considerable real injury may arise from such refusal.
Mr. Thomas Fisher, one of the partners of the house of Joshua Fisher & Sons, attended in Committee, and declared that, from conscientious motives, their house could not accept this kind of money, as it is issued for the purpose of war.
On motion, Resolved, That Messrs. Wilcocks and Smith be directed to wait on the President of the Continental Congress, with a copy of the Minutes of the Committee concerning the refusal of the Continental Bills by sundry persons.
Extract from the Minutes of the Committee of the City and Liberties of Philadelphia.
JONATHAN B. SMITH, Secretary.
