Speech of Samuel Shute on Trade and Governance in Massachusetts
The Boston March 20 issue prints Samuel Shute's speech to the General Court urging measures to ease grievances, curb trade with France at Cape Breton, and suppress pernicious publications. He calls for a law to enforce licensing of printed matter and defends royal treaties while warning against private interests and public credit strain. The rest reports European notices on plague in Marseilles, Toulon, Aix, and other cities, plus English parliamentary petitions about municipal grievances.
