was opened with debates upon the mea

1t was alledeed thattea had ever been fpou-
taneoUly imported, and the duty paid
that every fubjra had an equal right to
lend that article from the mother country

objectionable to exclude the Eaff-lndia
company from the fame privilege. This
produced general refoIution Of the citi-
zens that from that time no tea fhouId be
permitted to be landed in South Carolina
Whit the article was fubjea 20 duty |;
and ALTO that the tea, then brought by Capt.
Curing, fhouid be peremptorily fent back
to England. without being landed. In
confequence of which Capt. Curling was
preparing @ ProteR agsinR the confis ness:
propofed 70 land the other goods, 70 ihip
