The writer, in a calm address to the London Evening Post, discusses R. R. Wesley's appeal to Americans and responds to arguments about colonial governance and the benefits of emigrating. He contends that removing to America could still face oppressive laws and that rulers in England and America share similar constraints.
In this 1775 letter dated October 20, the author argues that British taxation without American representation is illegitimate, contending that as America grows wealthy and powerful it should claim English liberties, reject arbitrary rule, and resist Parliament’s diminishing rights over colonists while urging a continued fight for constitutional balance and self-government.
On October 25 1775 Stephen Sayre was taken into custody after an information on oath accused him of high treason and was committed to the Lower. Edward Lord Clive was confirmed as Recorder of Shresbury succeeding his late father. The King granted Thomas Thurlow the Deanery of Rochester and ordered letters patent for Robert Clarke to the Voam cathedral deanery, vacant by Dr Letablerse’s death.
A long report details imprisonments and letters concerning Sayre and others in London, with clerkly disputations, parliamentary motions, and accusations of liberty suppression. It covers prison visits, inquiries, and charges, plus maritime weather and local incidents and obituaries.
