Petition and Memorial on Quebec British subjects rights
A long petition presented in the House of Commons by Sir George Savile concerns Quebec settled British subjects. It argues that royal proclamations promised English law until assemblies are called and seeks repeal or amendment of a recent act. It asserts large British property interests, trade with Canadians, and fear of loss of Habeas Corpus and jury trials. It cites demographic estimates and calls for protection of personal property and ancient constitutional rights.
