Taking effect on June 1 1774 rather than punishing individuals the Act besieged the entire city until the colonists paid for the tea destroyed in the Tea Party December 16 1773.</p><p>"<i>the Act of Parliament for blocking up the Port of Boston is now in all its Parts carrying into Execution with the greatest Severity many Vessels being already prevented from coming in and Fishing boats and other small Craft strictly search'd; so that we have reason to expect that in a little time this Town will be in a truly distressed and melancholy Situation.</i>" p3/c1</p> <b>BOSTON PORT ACT.</b>Newspaper. <i>The Boston Evening-Post</i> June 6 1774 No. 2019. Boston: Thomas and John Fleet. 4 pp. 9¾ x 15⅜ in.<p><br /></p><p>The majority of this paper is devoted to patriotic content. The front page features a series of Questions and Answers from New York "<i>being conceived in some measure calculated to advance the cause of freedom in the present critical situation of affairs.</i>" It goes on to note that "<i>A Congress of Deputies from the several Colonies is thought to be absolutely necessary to devise means of restoring harmony between Great Britain and the Colonies and prevent matters from com</i>ing <i>to extremities</i>" p1/c1-2.</p><p>"<i>A Friend to Mankind</i>" wrote to the publishers "<i>When I first read the barbarous Act for shutting up the port of Boston; an act made with the pious design to starve the poor; make the industrious idle; the happy miserable; and as an entering wedge to the horrid purpose of enslaving America although I was transported beyond measure I could not help reflecting that bitter as it was for the present it would absolutely be of happy tendency to America in the result.</i>" p2/c1.</p><p>This issue prints a May 25 address from 33 Marblehead loyalists congratulating Massachusetts Gov. Thomas Hutchinson on his administration and wishing him a safe return trip to Great Britain p1/c3.
