fTtaftly, We petition to be freed from every jurifdiftion derived from
the mother country, fach only excepted at we can cqntroul when we will,
and modify how we pleafc. The inftitntion of an Admiralty jurildiftton,
though hoular to the proceeding in your coart of exchequer, and to the
rwert given to your commissioners of excise, and to juflices of the peace
kngland, is a jurisdiction intolerable to America, bor we arc a much
ftiore ficentioos people than you, it that be pofliblc; bur certain it it. that
we will not bear to be fubjeft to the fame rellratnts. Besides this Admi
taltv jurifdiftion it a grievance in another view, for it is the chief, if not
the only check, which you have upon our I aple trade of smuggling, nay,
Bs It prevent* a smuggler from being tried by hit Peers, that is, by a jury

treated injustice, and the moll (hocking opprelfion upon earth. But a
