7024. PROPERTY, Confiscation of.—

[In Lord North's proposition] our, adversaries
still claim a right of demanding ad
libitum,
and of taxing us themselves to the
full amount of their demand, if we do not
comply with it. This leaves us without anything
we can call property.—
Reply to Lord North's Proposition. Ford ed., i, 481.
