Diary of Christopher Marshall, March 23, 1775

Account from New York yesterday, that Messrs. Murrays' house and store [were] shut up, and a seal put upon the latter. Thus may be seen the manly behaviour of the committee of New York, notwithstanding the opposition they met with, both in their Assembly House and public proceedings, by the enemies of our country. The committee of the county of Cumberland, New Jersey, have also published the behaviour of Silas Newcomb, Esq., respecting persisting in drinking East [India] Tea, since the first of March, agreeably to the eleventh Article of the American Congress. See Pennsylvania Gazette, No. 2413.
