It is the Opinion of this Committee, that the sole Right of imposing Taxes on the Inhabitants of this his
Majesty's Colony and Dominion of Virginia, is now, and ever hath been, legally and constitutionally vested in
the House of Burgesses, lawfully convened according to the ancient and established Practice, with the
Consent of the Council, and of his Majesty, the King of Great-Britain, or his Governor, for the Time being.
It is the Opinion of this Committee, that it is the undoubted Privilege of the Inhabitants of this Colony, to
petition their Sovereign for Redress of Grievances; and that it is lawful and expedient to procure the
Concurrence of his Majesty's other Colonies, in dutiful Addresses, praying the royal Interposition in Favour
of the Violated Rights of America...
It is the Opinion of this Committee, that an humble, dutiful, and loyal Address, be presented to his Majesty,
to assure him of our inviolable Attachment to his sacred Person and Government; and to beseech his roval
Interposition, as the Father of all his people, however remote from the Seat of his Empire, to quiet the
Minds of his loyal Subjects of this Colony, and to avert from them, those Dangers and Miseries which will
ensue, from the seizing and carrying beyond Sea, any Person residing in America, suspected of any Crime
whatsoever, to be tried in any other Manner, than by the ancient and long established Course of
Proceeding.
