DANIEL DULANY

A slave has never maintained an action against the violator of his bed. A slave is not admonished for incontinence, or punished for fornication or adultery; never prosecuted for bigamy …

A gift, bequest, or devise, made to a slave, by any one not his owner, would be void

From Virginia and Maryland are exported communibus annis 90,000 hogsheads of tobacco to Great Britain of which it I supposed 60,000 of them are then exported. But these colonies not being permitted to send their tobacco immediately in proportion to their [foreign] demands, the re-exported tobacco pays double freight, double insurance, commission and other shipping charges. If the [other British] colonies were not restrained from directly importing foreign commodities they would … pay less for them, even by 50 percent, than they do at present

There is not that intimate and inseparable relation between the electors of Great-Britain, and the inhabitants of the colonies, which must inevitably involve both in the same taxation; on the contrary, not a single actual elector in England might be immediately affected by a taxation in America, imposed by a statute which would have a general operation and effect, upon the properties of the inhabitants of the colonies. The latter might be oppressed in a thousand shapes, without any sympathy, or exciting any alarm in the former.

A right to impose an internal tax on the colonies, without their consent for the single purpose of revenue, is denied, a right to regulate their trade without their consent is, admitted.

Do equall Law and right to all the King's Subjects rich and poor.
