Debate on repealing the Tea Duty in America
Postscript account of Tuesday’s debate on repealing the tea duty in America. Fox argues the tax is prudent now to avoid worse conflict, urging firm but measured action, while Burke defends Rockingham administration and warns repeal could invite rebellion. Various peers urge preservation of authority, with emphasis on right, not revenue, and the danger of concessions.
