10. In case any merchant, trader, or other person, shall
import any goods or merchandise, after the first day of
December, and before the first day of February next, the
same ought forthwith, at the election of the owner, to be
either re-shipped or delivered up to the committee of the county
or town, wherein they shall be imported, to be stored at the
risque of the importer, until the non-importation agreement
shall cease, or be sold under the direction of the committee
aforesaid; and in the last-mentioned case, the owner or owners
of such goods shall be reimbursed out of the sales, the first
cost and charges, the profit, if any, to be applied towards
relieving and employing such poor inhabitants of the town of
Boston as are immediate sufferers by the Boston port-bill;
and a particular account of all goods so returned, stored, or
sold, to be inserted in the public papers; and if any goods
or merchandises shall be imported after the said first day
of February, the same ought forthwith to be sent back again,
without breaking any of the packages thereof.
11. That a committee be chosen in every county, city, and
town, by those who are qualified to vote for representatives
in the legislature, whose business it shall be attentively to
observe the conduct of all persons touching this association;
and when it shall be made to appear, to the satisfaction of a
majority of any such committee, that any person within the
limits of their appointment has violated this association, that
such majority do forthwith cause the truth of the case to be
published in the gazette; to the end, that all such foes to the
rights of British-America may be publicly known, and uni-
versally contemned as the enemies of American liberty; and
thenceforth we respectively will break off all dealings with
him or her. 2

12. That the committee of correspondence, in the respective
colonies, do frequently inspect the entries of their custom-
houses, and inform each other, from time to time, of the
true state thereof, and of every other material circumstance
that may occur relative to this association.
13. That all manufactures of this country be sold at reason-
able prices, so that no undue advantage be taken of a future
scarcity of goods.
14. And we do further agree and resolve, that we will have
no trade, commerce, dealings, or intercourse whatsoever, with
any colony or province, in North-America, which shall not
accede to, or which shall hereafter violate this association, but
will hold them as unworthy of the rights of freemen, and as
inimical to the liberties of their country.
And we do solemnly bind ourselves and our constituents,
under the ties aforesaid, to adhere to this association, until
such parts of the several acts of parliament passed since the
close of the last war, as impose or continue duties on tea,
wine, molasses, syrups, paneles, coffee, sugar, pimento, indigo,
foreign paper, glass, and painters' colours, imported into
America, and extend the powers of the admiralty courts beyond
their ancient limits, deprive the American subjects of trial
by jury, authorize the judge's certificate to indemnify the
prosecutor from damages, that he might otherwise be liable
to from a trial by his peers, require oppressive security from
a claimant of ships or goods seized, before he shall be allowed
to defend his property, are repealed. --And until that part of
the Act of the 12 G. 3. ch. 24, entitled "An act for the better
securing his majesty's dock-yards, magazines, ships, ammuni-
tion, and stores," by which any persons charged with com-
mitting any of the offences therein described, in America,
may be tried in any shire or county within the realm, is re-
pealed--and until the four acts passed in the last session of
parliament, viz. that for stopping the port and blocking up the
harbour of Boston--that for altering the charter and govern-
ment of the Massachusetts-Bay--and that which is entitled
"An act for the better administration of justice, &c. "--and

that " for extending the limits of Quebec, &c. " are repealed. 1
And we recommend it to the provincial conventions, and to
the committees in the respective colonies, to establish such
farther regulations as they make think proper, for carrying
into execution this association.
The foregoing association being determined upon by the
Congress, was ordered to be subscribed by the several mem-
bers thereof; and thereupon, we have hereunto set our respec-
tive names accordingly.
