North Wall. CARTOON - FRAMED "SCOTCH BUTCHERY", AMERICAN. Historic Furnishings Report Vol VI pp 580: Historical Information taken from Henry Adams II notes: 1. William, Lord, Blute. 2. William Murray, Earl of Mansfield. 3. Colonel Frazer. 4. Alexander Wedderburn, Attorney General. Scotch Butchery 1775. To compel Boston to pay for the Tea destroyed and comply with Duties, the Boston Port Bill was passed in 1774. By this act Boston was blockaded till ut should submit. In the first part of 1775 there was much suffering as all trade had ceased and supplies had to be brought in from the land side, but the citizens still held out. In England the friendly element laid the entire blame for the coercion of the Colonies to the influence of Scotch ministers and Scotch Colonial officials. Rumors came to London that citizens had been fired on and Boston bombarded. The cartoon shows such an imaginary incident. The city in the background is probably Quebec which under the Port Act was not coerced like Boston.
