A recorded exchange on colonial rights and Parliament’s scope cites King Charles I and Virginia’s charter. Arguments stress that the colony remained within the Crown’s seignory, not the realm, and question any implied power of Parliament to bind colonial laws. The discussion defends representative government within the colony and rejects expansive parliamentary control.
A lengthy examination argues that chartered colonies remain under Parliament’s authority and that emigrants retain rights to be governed by laws from rulers elected by them. It questions the notion that removal frees colonists from English legal subjection and defends the continued exercise of essential liberties without returning to England.
An 1770 account notes Sicilian banditti as the Prince of Villa Franca’s feared guards. The guards’ loyalty, brutal discipline, and protection of travelers are recounted with tales of magistrates’ complicity, piracy of treasure, and a priest murder over debt.
An ancient account describes Pefce, a native of Naples, diving to depths of about 50 feet and remaining submerged for minutes while others watched. The tale notes his agile catches and a royal observer, the peril of Charybdis, and a drowned fate after a third attempt.
