McCall signed with the other jurors the following presentment:
"We present as an enormous
grievance the power exercised by the British Parliament of taxing and making
laws, binding upon the American Colonies in all cases whatsoever, such power
being subversive of the most inestimable rights of British subjects, that of
being taxed by their consent only, given by their Representatives in General
Assembly, and that of trial by jury, both of which are evidently inherent in
every British American, and of which no power on earth can deprive them. We, well knowing the importance of these
rights in securing to us our liberties, lives and estates, and concerning it
to be every man's indispensable duty to transmit them to his posterity, we are
full determined to defend them at the hazard of our lives."
