394 APPENDIX A 



8th. In consideration of the Americans maintaining their own 

 peace establishment, and of the monopoly Britain is to 

 have of their commerce, no requisition to be made 

 from them in time of peace. 



gth. In time of war, on requisition made by the king, with 

 consent of parliament, every colony shall raise money 

 by some such rule or proportion as the following : viz. 

 If Britain, on account of the war, pays as high as 35. 

 in the pound to its land-tax, then the Colonies to add 

 to their last general provincial tax a sum equal to 

 (suppose J) thereof ; and if Britain, on the same 

 account, pays 45. in the pound, then the Colonies to 

 add to their said tax a sum equal to (suppose ) 

 thereof ; which additional tax is to be granted to the 

 king, and to be employed in raising and paying men 

 for land or sea service, furnishing provisions, transports, 

 or for such other purposes as the king shall require 

 and direct : and though no colony may contribute 

 less, each may add as much by voluntary grant as they 

 shall think proper. 



loth. No troops to enter, and quarter in any colony, but with 

 the consent of its legislature. 



nth. Castle William to be restored to the province of the 

 Massachusets Bay. 



I2th. The late Massachusets and Quebec acts to be repealed, 

 and a free government granted to Canada. 



I3th. The extension of the act of Henry VIII. concerning 

 treason, to the colonies, to be formally disclaimed by 

 parliament. 



I4th. The American Admiralty courts reduced to the same 

 powers they have in England, and the acts relative to 

 them to be re-enacted in America. 



I5th. All Judges in the king's colony governments to be 

 appointed during good behaviour, the Colonies fixing 

 ample and equally durable salaries : or, if it is thought 

 best that the king should still continue to appoint 

 during pleasure, then the colony assemblies to grant 

 salaries during their pleasure, as has always heretofore 

 been the practice. 



i6th. The Governors also to be supported by voluntary 

 grants of the assemblies, as heretofore. 



1 7th. All powers of internal legislation in the Colonies, to 

 be disclaimed by parliament.
