We cannot remain in office together; said he of Townshend, and he asked the Duke of Grafton himself to call the next Council at his own house. Chatham to Grafton, Wednesday, 11 March 1767, in Grafton's Autobiography.

He would enforce the claim of authority at all hazards. Dartmouth to Haldimand, 5 Feb. 1774.
