In the first place the Petitioners say that Considerable Sums of Money have been demanded for the Inconsiderable priviledge of standing on the same " that is the Market ground " this they deem to be contrary to that freedom of appropriating their own Towns properity by their own consent & consequently unconsti- tutional and Oppressive -
In Answer to which we say that whatsoever Sums have been demanded, but a trifle has been paid even not sufficient to pay the daily expence of the Market, But that this Demand is contrary to the Intent of the Legislature, doth not appear, if we are to Judge by a fair and candid perusal of the Market Law, and to say that paying Money for a priviledge (as they own it to be in their Petition) is contrary to that freedom of Appropriating their own "properity by their own consent, & unconstitutional and "oppressive," is as we conceive contrary to common Sense, If they enjoy a Priviledge its fit they should pay for it, to procure them this Priviledge the Town have been at the [383.] Expence of near two Thousand Pounds in filling up the Docke and are annually at the expence of a Clerk to accomodate the Market Men & a Labourer, who every Day after the Market is over, clears away the Dung & rubish better to accomodate them, Their own Properity they dispose of as they please, & do what they will with their money when received & how this can be deem'd unconstitutional, or oppressive cannot be concived but by the Framers of said Petition
The next thing the Petitioners complain of is being restrained from standing more than half an "houre in any public place or Street, in Boston under "the penalty of two Shillings for every offence " which they concieve to be an abridgment of that Liberty which every good Citizen ought to enjoy,"- All that need be said in answer to this is, that by the paragraph referred to in- stead of Abridging it is an enlargement of their liberty - before the Law, Teams, Carts, Trucks, Chaise &c Standing a less space of time in the Street, road or high way would be deem'd a com- mon Nuisance & might be punish'd as such 'tis a Priviledge that no Inhabitant of this Commonwealth either in Boston or in any other Town is allowed. -
The Petitioners also complain of it as a hardship that Common Street is set a part as a market place for the sale of Hay, Wood &c- Instead of a greivance this is another Priviledge, there they
51
BOSTON TOWN RECORDS, 1785.
may stand all Day, without being liable to be presented [384.] for obstructing the road, as an Inhabitant of Boston might be. -
We have this further to say Vizt: that the Law which they complain of doth not Compel them either to go into Common Street with their Lumber or the Market with their Provisions, it leaves them at free Liberty to pass and repass, thro' all the Streets in Boston so as they do not Obstruct the passage or make it inconvenient for other passangers thus it appears that their Blood & Treasure "has not in this respect been spent in vain -
We know of no Jealousy or Cause of Jealousy subsisting be- tween Town & Country ; We are one People, Brothers ; our Inter- ests are one ; and to convince our Friends in the Country, espe- cially those in the Petitiononing Towns, that we wish to live in perfect Harmony with them, we shall make no oppositions to a Motion for a Total repeal of this Act which they complain off however mistaken we think they have been in the construction of it. -
It was then moved and Voted, that the Town do accept of this Report, and that the sd : Committee Vizt. " The Gentelmen' the Selectmen & the Honble : Robert T. Payne Esq". Mr. Thomas Walley and Joseph Greenleaf Esqr. be and hereby are instructed to lay the Same before the General Court as the Answer of the Town to the Petition aforesaid
