Taxation Without Representation Is Tyranny.

A Man's House Is His Castle.

Every One With This Writ May Be A Tyrant In A Legal Manner, Also May Control, Imprison, Or Murder Any One Within The Realm.

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.

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.

Now One Of The Most Essential Branches Of English Liberty, Is The Freedom Of One's House. A Man's House Is His Castle; And While He Is Quiet, He Is As Well Guarded As A Prince In His Castle. This Writ Of Assistance, If It Should Be Declared Legal, Would Totally Annihilate This Privilege.
