A Man's House Is His Castle.

Can There Be Any Liberty Where Property Is Taken Away Without Consent?

I Pray God I May Never Be Brought To The Melancholy Trial, But If Ever I Should, It Will Be Then Known How Far I Can Reduce To Practice, Principles, Which I Know To Be Founded In Truth.

I Have Accordingly Considered It, And Now Appear Not Only In Obedience To Your Order, But Likewise In Behalf Of The Inhabitants Of This Town, Who Have Presented Another Petition, And Out Of Regard To The Liberties Of The Subject.

A Man Is Accountable To No Person For His Doings.

May It Please Your Honors: I Was Desired By One Of The Court To Look Into The Books, And Consider The Question Now Before Them Concerning Writs Of Assistance.
