Containing tbe frefyeH ^onices
%tb, Resolved, That it is the Opinion of tbis Com
mittee, That tbe Aft of 7th Geo. 3d, Chap. 46, raiftg
a Revenue for making Provijion for defraying the
Charge of the Administration offuface, and tbe Sup
port of Civil Government, is a Grievance; as it lays
a Duty on Tea, which is a Commodity we are obliged
to get from England, and prohibited from importing
from an, other Place; as it raises a Revenue for tbe
Support of Government, and tbe Admimfraticn oj
fufice in tbe Colonies, independent of tbe People; is
contrary to, and a Revocation of, tbat Syfem cj Rights
and Privileges on which tbe Government of the Colo
nies hath been efablifhed; as it deprives tbe Legisla
tures of tbe Colonies, of that Check and Controul upon
tbe Servants of tbe Public, which tbe Parliament hath
in Great-Britain; and deprives tbe SubjeElsyin the
Colonies, of tbe Rights and Privileges which the, al
ways, before the sassing that Afl, have been efeemed
intitled to, and, of Right, enjoy equal with tbe People
of Great-Britain.
gtb, Refolded, Tbat it is the Opinion of tbis Com
mittee, Tbat tbe Adi of 7th Geo. 3d, Chap. 59, re
quiring the Legislature of this Colon, to provide for tbe
Services therein mentioned, without Application made
to the Representatives of the People of tbis Colon, in
General AJJembly, and bolding up by an, other Adis a
Suspension of tbe Legislative Powers of tbis Colony,
untilfueb Requisition be complied with; is a Griev
ance, dangerous to tbe Rights of bis Majeftfs Subjects
in <tbis Colony.
roth, Resolved, That it is the Opinion of this
Committee, That the A& of 12th Geo. 3d, Chap.
24, entitled," An A& for the better securing and
preserving his Majesty's Dock# Yards, Magazines,
Ships, Ammunition and Stores ;” as it deprives the
American Subject of a Trial by a Jury of the Vici
nage, and authorizes the Trial of Perlons charged
with committing certain Offences out of the Realm,
in any Shire or County within the Realm, is dan
gerous to the Lives and Liberties of the Subje&.
11th, Resolved, That it is the Opinion of this
Committee, That the Conftru&ion of the Statute of
45th Henry Bth, Chap. 2, as held up by both Hou
les of Parliament, in their Address to his Majesty in
the 9th Year of his Reign, recommending the issuing
a special Commission for enquiring of Treasons, and
Mifprifon of Treasons, committed in the Province
of the Maffachufett's-Bay, in order to have the Of
fenders, if any there were, tried in Great-Britain ; is
a Grievance. *
12th, Resolved, That it is the Opinion of this
Committee, That the Statute of 14th Geo. 3d, Chap.
88, so far as it imposes Duties upon certain Articles
of Merchandize imported into the Province of Que
bec, (which by another Statute of the fame Year,
Chap. 83, is so extended as to comprehend all the
Indian Country from Hudson's Bay to the Mouth of
the River Ohid) is a Grievance; as by the said Sta
tutes the grand Commerce formerly carried on from
this Colony with the numerous Indian Natives, is, in
a great Measure deftfoyed ; and hy which the bene
ficial and ufeful Intercourse with them is almost
intirely cut off, as the only Place by which the dutied
Articles may be imported into the said Province, is
reftri&ed to the Port of St. John's, on the River So
rel, which is so extremely remote from the other
Colonies, that the carrying of Goods to be entered
there, to prosecute the Indian Trade, must necessarily
be attended with such a heavy Expence, as m amount
to a total Prohibition.---That the Diferimination
made in the said Statute of 14th Geo. 3d, Chap. 88,
in favour of the Sugar Colonies, by fubje&ing the
continental Colonies to a larger Duty on the dutied
Articles ; is a Grievance.---And that the said Sta
tute of 14th Geo. 3, Chap. 83, so far as it may be
construed to establish the Roman Catholic Religion
in the Province of Quebec, so extended ; is a Griev
ance.
The A& of 14th Geo. 3d, entitled, “ An Aft to
difeontinue in such Manner and for such Time as
are therein mentioned, the landing and difeharging,
lading or flipping of Goods, Wares or Merchandize,
at the Town and within the Harbour of Boftoh, in
the Province of Maffachufett's-Bay in North-Ame
rica;" being read, and Debates arising thereon, arid
the Question being put, Whether the fame is a Griev
ance that affects this Colony ? it was carried in the
Affirmative in Manner following, viz.
mentioned Aft to be given as Security by Claimants of
Feffels ; is not a Grievance.
fb, Resolved, Tbat it is tbe Opinion of tbis Com
mittee, That tbe ninth Section of said las mentioned
ACI, giving tbe Courts of Admiralty a concurrent fu
rifdiCtion with the Courts of common Law, in Causes
arising within tbe Body of a County, and thereby leav
ing it in tbe Power of tbe Prosecutor to deprive the
Subject of a Trial by fury of tbe Vicinage ; and the
Act of ^tb Geo. 3d, Cbap. zzd, giving similar Powers
to Courts of Vice Admiralty; are Grievances.
6tb, Resolved, That it is tbe Opinion of this Com
mittee, That tbe ACI of Qb Geo. 3d, Chap. 34, is a
Grievance, in as much as it prohibits tbe Legifature
of tbis Colony from paging any Law for the Emission
of a Paper Currency to be a legal Tender within tbe
Colony, so advantageous to tbe Growth and Commerce
of tbis Colony ; tbe Want whereof, might, in a great
Measure, disable his Majcfly's Subjects here, upon pro
per Requisition, from granting fueb Aids as may be
necessary for tbe general Weal and Safety of tbe Britijb
Empire.
7th, Resolved, Tbat it is the Opinion of this Commit
tee, That the AC? of 6tb Geo. 3d, Chap. 52, fofar as
the fame leys a Duty on Molafes, and Sirrups, on
Coffee, and on Pimento, of tbe Growth and Produce of
any Britijb Colony or Plantation in America, which
foall be imported or brought from thence into an, other
Britijb Colony or Plantation in America; is a Griev
ance.

that the aforefaid A&, so far As the fame may form
