Most gracious Sovereign,
WE your Majesty’s faithful fubjeas of the
colonies of New-Hampshire, Massachu
setts Bay, Rhode Jfland and Providence plants
tions, Connecticut, New-York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, the counties of New-Castle, Kent and
Sussex, on Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-
Carolina, and South-Carolina, in behalf of our
selves and the inhabitants of those colonies, who
have deputed us to represent them in General
Congress, by this our humble petition, beg leave
to lay our grievances before the throne.
A standing army has been kept in these colo
nies, ever since the conclusion of the late war,
without the consent of our Assemblies ; and this
army, with a considerable naval armament, has
been employed to enforce the collection of taxes.
The authority of the Commander in Chief,
and, under him, of the Brigadiers General, has,
in time of peace, been rendered supreme in all
the civil governments in America.
The Commander in Chief of all your Majesty’s
forces in North-America has, in time of peace,
been appointed Governor of a colony.
The charges of usual offices have been greatly
encreafed, and new, expensive, and oppressive
offices have been multiplied.
The Judgesof Admiralty and Vice-Admiralty
Courts, are impowerec ito receive their salaries
and fees from the effects condemned by them
lelves.•
The Officers of the Customs are impowered to
break open and enter houses, without the autho
rity of any Civil Magistrate, founded on legal
information.
The Judges of Courts of common law have
been made intirely dependent on one part of the
legillature for their salaries, as well as for the du
ration of their commissions.
Counfellors, holding their commissions during
pleasure, exercise legislative authority.
Humble and reasonable petitions from the Re
presentatives of the people, have been fruitless.
The Agents of the people have been discoun
tenanced, and Governors have been inftrudted to
prevent the payment of their salaries.
Assemblies have been frequently and injuriously
dissolved, and commerce burthened with many
useless and oppressive restrictions.
By Several a&s of Parliament made in the
fourth, firth, sixth, seventh and eighth years of
your Majesty’s reign, duties are imposed on us,
for the puipofe of railing a revenue, and the
powers of Admiralty and Vice-admiralty courts
are extended beyond their ancient limits, whereby
our property is taken from us without our con
tent; the trial by jury, in many civil cases, is
abolished ; enormous forfeitures are incurred for
flight offences; vexatious informers are exempted
from paying damages to which they are justly
liable, and oppressive security is required from
owners, before they are allowed to defend their
rights.
Both Houses of Parliament have resolved, that
the colonies may be tried in England for offences
alledged to have been committed in America, by
virtue of a statute passed in the thirty-fifth year of
Henry the Eighth ; and in consequence thereof
attempts have been made to enforce that statute.
A statute was passed in the twelfth year of your
Majesty’s reign, directing that persons charged
with committing any offence therein described, in
any place out of the realm, may be indicted and
tried for the fame in any Shire or county within
the realm, whereby inhabitants of these colonies
may, in sundry cases by that statute made capital,
be deprived of a trial by their peers of the vici
nage.
In the last Session of Parliament, an aft was
passed for blocking up the harbour of. Boston,
another impowering the Governor of the Massa
chusetts-Bay to fend persons indicted for murder
in that province, to another colony, or even to
Great-Britain, for trial, whereby such offenders
may escape legal punishment ; a third for altering
the chartered constitution of government in that
province; and a fourth, for extending the limits
of Quebec, abolishing the English, and restoring
the French laws, whereby great numbers of Bri
tish freemen are fubjcCt to the latter, and estab
lishing an absolute government, and the Roman
Catholic Religion throughout those valt regions,
that border on the writerly and northerly boun
daries of the free Proteltant English settlements ;
and a filth for he better providing suitable quar
ters for officers and soldiers in his Majesty's fer vice
in North- America.
To a Sovereign, who " glories in the Name
" of Briton," the bare recital of these aCts mutt,
we presume, juftify the loyal fubjeas who fly to
the foot of his throne and implore his clemency
for proteaion against them.
From this destructive system of colony admini
stration, adopted since the conclusion of the late
war, have flowed those distresses, dangers, fears
and jealousies that overwhelm your Majesty’s du
tiful colonists with affliction ; and we defy our
most subtle and inveterate enemies to trace the
unhappy differences between Great-Britain and
these colonies from an earlier period, or from
other causes than we have assigned ; had they pro
ceeded on our part from a reliefs levity of tem
per, unjust impulses of ambition, or artful sug
gestions of seditious persons, we Should merit the
opprobrious terms frequently bellowed on us by
those we revere. But, so far from promoting in
novations, we have only opposed them, and can
be charged with no offence, unless it be one to
receive injuries and be sensible of them.
Had our creater been pleased to give us exig
ence in a land of Slavery, the sense of our condi
tion might have been mitigated by ignorance and
habit ; but, thanks be to his adorable goodness,
we were born the heirs of freedom, and ever en
joyed our rights under the auspices of your royal
ancestors, whose family was seated on the British
throne to refeue and Secure a pious and gallant
nation from the popery and deSpotiSm of a super
stitious and inexorable tyrant. Your Majesty, we
are confident, justly rejoices, that your title to the
crown is thus founded on the title of your people
to liberty ; and therefore we doubt not but your
royal wildom must approve the sensibility, that
teaches your fubje&s anxiously to,guard the bles
sing they received from divine providence, and
thereby to prove the performance of that com
pact, which elevated the illustrious house of Brun
'™°' '° ''e imperial dignity it now possesses.
Ihe apprehension of being degraded into a
r? te r3i''"'""'" from the pre eminent rank of
English freemen, while our minds retain the
drought love of liberty, and clearly lorefee the
miseries preparing for -us and our posterity, excites
emotions in our hearts, which, though we cannot
defenbe, we should not wish to conceal. Feeling
as men, and thinking as Subjects, in the manner
we do, Silence would be disloyalty, By giving
The following is the PETITION of the
CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
To the KING'S moil excellent Majesty.
Had we been permitted to enjoy in quiet the inhe
ritance left us by our forefathers, we should, at this
time, have been peaceably, chearfully, and ufefully,
employed in recommending ourselves by every testi
mony of devotion to your Majesty, and of veneration
to the state from which we derive dur origin. But
though now exposed to unexpected and unnatural
feenes of distress, by a contention with that nation on
whose parental guidance, on all important affairs,
we have hitherto with filial reverence constantly
trusted, and therefore can derive no instruction in our
present unhappy and perplexing circumstances From
any former experience, yet we doubt not the purity
of our intention, and the integrity of our conduct,
will juftify us at that grand tribunal before which
all mankind must submit to judgment.
We ask but for peace, liberty and fafety. We
wish not a diminution of the prerogative, nor do we
solicit the grant of any new right in our favour.
Your royal authority over us, and our connection
with Great-Britain, we shall always carefully and
zealously endeavour to support and maintain.
Filled with sentiments of duty to your Majesty,
and of affection to our parent state, deeply impressed
by our education, and strongly confirmed by our
reason, and anxious to evince the sincerity of these
dispositions, we present this petition only to obtain
redress of grievances, and relief from fears and jea
lousies, occasioned by the system of Statutes and regu
lations adopted since the close of the late war, for
railing a revenue in America, extending the powers of
courts of admiralty and vice-admiralty, trying persons
in Great-Britain for offences alledged to be committed
in America, affeCting the province of Massachusetts-
Bay and altering the government, and extending the
limits of Quebec; by the abolition of which system,
the harmony between Great-Britain and these colo
nies, so necessary to the happiness of both, and so
ardently desired by the latter, and usual intercourses,
will be immediately restored.
In the magnanimity and justice of your Majesty
and Parliament we confide, for a redress of our other
grievances, trusting, that when the causes of our
apprehensions are removed, our future conduCt will
prove us not unworthy of the regard we have been
accustomed in our happier days to enjoy. For, ap
pealing to that Being who thoroughly searches the
hearts of his creatures, we solemnly profefs, that
our Councils have been influenced by no other motive
than a dread of impending deftru&ion.
Permit us then, most gracious Sovereign, in the
name of all your faithful people in America, with
the utmost humility to implore you, for the honour
of Almighty God, whose pure religion our enemies
are undermining, for your glory, which can be ad
vanced only by rendering your fubjeCts happy, and
keeping them united ; for the interest of your family,
depending on an adherence to the principles that en
throned it, for the fafety and welfare of your king
doms and dominions, threatened with almost una
voidable dangers and distresses ; that your Majesty,
as the loving father of your whole people, connected
by the fame bands of law, loyalty, faith and blood,
though dwelling in various countries, will not fuffer
the tranfeendent relation formed by these ties to be
farther violated, in uncertain expectation of effeCts,
that, if attained, never can compensate for the cala
mities thro’ which they must be gained.
We therefore most earnestly beseech your Majesty,
that your royal authority and interposition may be
used for our relief, and that a gracious answer may
be given to this petition.
That your Majesty may enjoy every felicity,
through a long and glorious reign over loyal and
happy fubjeCts, and that your defeendants may inherit
your prosperity and dominions till time shall be no
more, is, and always will be, our sincere and fervent
prayer.
NEW - YORK, January 23.
this faithful information, w^ do all in our power
to promote the great objects of your royal cares,
the tranquility of your government, and the wel
fare of your people.
Duty to your Majesty, and regard for the preser
vation of ourselves and our posterity, the primary
obligations of nature and of society, commands us
to entreat your royal attention ; and, as your Majesty
enjoys the signal distinction of reigning over freemen,
we apprehend the language of freemen cannot be
displeasing. Your royal indignation, we hope, will
rather fall on those designing and dangerous men,
who, daringly interposing themselves between your
royal perlon and your faithful fubjefts, and for se
veral years pad incessantly employed to dissolve the
bonds of society, by abusing your Majesty’s au
thority, misrepresenting your American fubje&s, and
prosecuting the most desperate and irritating projects
of oppression,. have at length compelled us, by the
force of accumulated injuries, too severe to be any
longer tolerable, to disturb your Majesty’s repose by
our complaints.
These sentiments are extorted from hearts that
much more willingly would bleed in your Majesty’s
service. Yet so greatly have we been misrepresented,
that a necessity has been alledged of taking our pro
perty from us without our consent, “ to defray
the charge of the administration of justice, the sup
port of civil government, and the defence, protection,
and security of the colonies." But we beg leave to
aflure your Majesty, that such proyifion has been and
will be made for defraying the two firft articles, as
has-been and flhall be judged, by the legislatures of
the several colonies, just and suitable to their refpe&ive
circumstances ; and for the defence, protection and
security of the colonies, their militias, if properly
regulated, as they earrieftly desire may immediately be
done, would be fully fufficient, at least in time of
peace ; and in case of war, your faithful colonists will
be ready and willing, as they ever have been when
constitutionally required, to demonstrate their loyalty
to your Majesty, by exerting their most Strenuous
efforts in granting supplies, and railing forces.—
Yielding to no British fubje&s in affectionate attach
ment to your Majesty’s person, family and govern
ment, we too dearly prize that privilege of expressing
that attachment, by those proofs which are honourable
to the Prince who receives them, and to the people
who give them, ever to resign it to any body of men
upon earth.

of the County of Gloucester ; and Joseph T. Wickham,

Extract of a Letter from Philadelphia, fan. 14,17,5
“ Last Week, a certain Ann Harper, was convicted
at the Mayor’s Court, for Stealing sundry Goods the
Property of different Persons in this City ; for which
flie was sentenced to be whipped publickly, on three
different Market Days. Last Saturday (he received
her firft whipping, To-day her Second, and on this

lately from North-Carolina, to which Place file tra
velled from Charleftown, South-Carolina, by Land,
in her Carriage and Pair, with her two Negro Men
to attend her. She had not been in this City but a
few Days, before she took to her old Practice, of go
ing to different Shops, under the Appearance of a
fine Lady, with her Gold Watch by her.
Side, where she cheapened and examined a Variety
of Goods, pocketed and secreted many, and went off
with some of them, among which was a Remnant
of rich Satten ; which being miffed by the Shopkeeper
soon after flie left the Shop, she was apprehended,
and a Search Warrant taken out to examine her
Apartment, at her Lodgings, where three Trunks
of Goods were difeovered, and opened by the Con

brought them with her from Carolina, and that they
are Stolen.---One of her Negroes, on her being taken

and went off, but was since taken at or near Princeton,
New-Jersey, and is secured with the other, ,in our
