Protest in Lords over Massachusetts Charter Bill
Die Mercurij May 11 1774 reports the House of Lords debates on a bill to regulate Massachusetts Bay governance.

The speech links colonial taxation with broader rights, warning against arbitrary power and harbour tightening as precedents for colonial control. ABINGDON CRAVEN EFFINGHAM FITZWILLIAM PONSONBY
