From a number of Suspicious Circumstances respecting the Conduct & behaviour of Colonel Thomas Polk, C. Gen. of provisions for the State of No. Carolina, & Commissary of purchases for the Continental Troops, it is Our Opinion that the said Col. Polk should be directly Ordered to Salisbury to answer his Conduct; and that the persons of Duncan Ochiltree & William Macaferty be likewise brought under Guard to Salisbury. Given unanimously as Our Opinion this 12th day of November, 1780.
