		The Chancellor's red briefcase is identical to the briefcases used by all other government ministers (known as ministerial boxes or "red boxes") to transport their official papers but is better known because the Chancellor traditionally displays the briefcase, containing the Budget speech, to the press in the morning before delivering the speech.
		The original Budget briefcase was first used by William Gladstone in 1860 and continued in use until 1965 when James Callaghan was the first Chancellor to break with tradition when he used a newer box.

		Grandfather Lee had an uncle William Mason, tanner, who was so well to do that he paid lay subsidy taxes, from which most men including most Worcester merchants were exempt.
		On his mother’s side, the 1618 boy had an uncle William Hancock, so wealthy a vintner that he was nominated as a London alderman.

	Boston Tea Party - Historical Society
		The question of the surplus tea was itself inconsequential, but the focus of debate quickly became the Townshend duties, an onerous tax that depressed imports into the colonies and netted the Crown only £400.
		Despite dire predictions from such Parliamentarians as William Dowdeswell "I tell the Noble Lord now, if he don't take off the duty they won't take the tea" Prime Minister Lord North refused to repeal the taxes.
		News of the company's plan reached the colonies before the tea itself, and when Dartmouth arrived at Boston on November 28, with 114 chests of tea, Bostonians refused to allow the tea to be landed.
