When the British ministry received
from general Amherst his despatches, an*
nouncingliis conquest of Montreal ami the
consequent annihilation of the French go
vernment and power in. America, in<l 759.
they immediately conceived the design,
and took the resolution of conquering tlic
English colonies, and subjecting them to
the unlimited authority of parliament.—
with this view aud intention, they sent or-
•lers and instructions to the collector of
the customs in Boston, Mr. Charles Pax
ton, to apply to the civil authority for writs'
of assistance, to enable the custom-house
officers, tide waiters, land waiters,and all,
to command all sheriffs and constable^ to
attend and aid them in breaking .open
houses, stores, shops, cellars, ships, bales,
trunks, casks, packages of all sorts, tp
search for goods, wares and merchandises,
which had been imported as against the
prohibitions, or without paying the taxp»
imposed by certain acts of. parliam<nt;
called “ The Acts of "trade,i. e. by cerf
tain parliamentary statutes, which had
been procred to be passed from lime to
time, fora century before, by a combina-
ation of selfish intrigues between .West-'
India planters and Nortf-American royal
governors. These acts never had been
executed, andlbere never- had beenraHHtie
when they would have been, or could have
been, obvyed. •
Mr. Paxton, no doubt consulting with
governor Bernard, lieutenant governor
Hutchinson, and all the principal crown of
ficers, ami all thereat of the junto, thought
‘ not prndcnl to commence his operations
Bnston. For obvious reasons, he in
truded his deputy collector, in Salem,
vfr. Cockle, to apply by petition to the su
perior court, in November, 1760, then-'sit
ting in that town, for writs of assistance.
Stephen Sewell was then chief justice of
that court, an able man, an uncorrupted
American, a stand whig, a sincere' friend of
liberty, civil and religious. He txprevfeed
igreat doubts of the legality of such a writ,
and of the authority of the court to grant
it. Not one of his brother juilges uttered
word in favor of it; but, as it was an ap
plication on tha part of the crown, it must
be heanl and determined. After consul
tation, the court ordered the question to
ie argued at the nest February term, in
Boston, i. c. in 1761,
_ In the mean time, chief justice, Sewell
lied, and lieuten -ni governorllutchinson
was appointed chief justice of that court

igrain knew that this appointment was
made tor the.direct purpose of deciding
this question in favor of the crown, »nd alt
titers jo which it should be interested.
An alarm v.-as spread far and wide.—

to Mr. Pra’t, who sefosed,and to Mr. Oli*
