Committee lay before Assembly nine acts of Parliament, four of which were solicited by London committee; calls attention to No. 6 "by which the British colonies are now able to extend the whole of their importations to and from each other and indulgence, as is also that of trading to the Mediterranean without touching at an English Port often solicited by, but never granted to the old colonies."
