Resolved by this House that the levying Tobacco or Money upon
the Inhabitants of Maryland otherwise or to other Purposes then are
directed by Law is a violation of the Peoples Property and an In-
fringement of their Rights and Priviledges
And it is further Resolved by this House that the Justices of
Calvert County have been guilty of a very great Transgression in

the same and which this House would not have passed by in so easy
a manner, but for that it appears to have been done without any
Intention to oppress the People
