P FT I LADELPHI A, fo4.
To the Worihipful Justices of his Mejelly George
the Third, of his Courts of Quarter Sellions and
Common Pleas for the county of Philadelphia.
The Memorial of the Committee of Infpedion and
Observation for the City and Liberties of Phila
delphia, &c.
ReJpeCfullv flrciveth,
TH AT the Honorable the Congress, by a reso
lution of the 15th of May last, have declared,
' that i: appears absolutely irreconcilable to reason
and good conference for the people of the colonies
row to take the oaths or affirmations necessary for
the support of any government under the crown of
Great-Britain, and that it is necefftry that the exer
cise of any kind of authority under the said crown
Ih dhr fr/ // afrifrdß &c. That this Com
nf^ce conceive i to be rLir duty, as it is their in
clination, to exert their utmost endeavours for car
r. ^jaacunon the laid resolve as well as others
of that honorable body, and therefore they thus
apply '° your WoHlups to lurceafe the cxeiche of
any authority in the present courts until a new
gov r nmenr is framed, and ail the powers thereof
exerted under the authority of the people of this
province.
The Committee need not remind your Worthips
of the qualihcations of grand-jurors, and how in
compatible they are with the present opposition to
the King of Grein-Britain, and the execution of the
Rsolves as well ol the Congress as of the House of
Affemhly of this province, when they reflect that
th. diipofition of many of your Worships is friendly
to me cause of liberty and your country, and that
a continuance in the feats you have so worthily filled
is no longer conducive to the fafety and happiness
of rhe people.
It is with great concern that the Committee have
beheld tome persons in office in this province, so
influenced by their salaries as to prefer their own
immediate power end inhered to that of their coun
try and their poverty; and they are sorry to find
themselves conifrained to exert their most strenuous
efforts for obtaining those desirable ends, pertonal
security, and the preservation of private property,
which they apprehend every honest man would be
anxious to fee fixed on a firm and permanent basis.
It is with equal concern that they have seen another
set of men in this province, heretofore notoriously
opposing the elections and authority of Committees
of all kinds (bodies, it is confeffed, constituted by
necessity alone) now profeffing a define for the con
tinuance of them, tho' evidently militating against
the authority of the crown, and the execution of
some of the criminal laws, as well as tending to the
ciiicontinu nee of trial by jury, and the fulpenfion
of the writ of habeas corpus, those bulwarks of
liberty. This conduct they can only ascribe to an
inclination in these men to prefer confufion to order,
tyranny to liberty, and anarchy to legal government,
and thereby in time, to make the people so difeon
tended and unhappy as to desire peace at the expence
of every thing valuable in this life, as was effected
by similar means at the Restoration.
Upon the whole the Committee think it their
dmv to themselves, their conifituents, and to the
Congress, to request your Worlhips to pottpone the
business of the above mentioned courts until a new
gov vumezu hi ill be iorine , which they apprehend
will be effected so speedily that the delay will be of
final! if any injury to the present suitors, and in the
mean time the minds of men will be quieted from the
apprehension of a diiaffefhd grand jury or court
attempting 10 censure or condemn the virtue us mea
fincs now puruing for the happineis and fafety of
th^ood people of this province in particular, and
America in general.
