On Thursday the 4th of January next, at 3 in the afternoon, the proprietor of the Mary and Frances will expose to sale at the Marine Coffee-House in Birchin-Lane the cargo of the said ship, being Guinea red-wood and elephants' teeth.

Editorial note: Recovered from a short sale notice clipped out of a longer advertisement run. Mapped conservatively to Birchin Lane in the City of London. Retained because it gives a concise Gazette witness to West African commodity import and sale.
