It was not the tax, but the principle of the bill, that gave offence, and that princij)le was distinctly recog- nized in the proposed repeal.

At Boston the mer- chants voted that a partial repeal was insufficient, and renewed their agreement not to imj)ort British goods, ex- cept a few specified articles. At this juncture, Gov.... Ber- nard, who had recently been made a baronet, was recall- ed, and Lieutenant-governor Hutchinson was again left at the head of the provincial government. In Newport the merchants, exasperated at the heavy charges made by the custom-house officers, bound themselves to pay no more than the regular fees prescribed by a law of the colony, to prevent strangers from being imposed upon in like manner, and to aid each other in prosecuting the officers for any such violations of the legal fee list. The payment of the war money of 1756, was still with- held.
