Description

Disposition

Orders reversed, bill dismissed.

Notes

The APC lists this under Antigua, but it is clear that the case belongs in this colony. The lead petitioner in the case came from Antigua, and the first entry in the PC register labels the case Antigua and says that the court appealed from was the Chancery Court of Antigua. That is highly unlikely, since the decedent whose estate is the subject of the proceedings came from Montserrat. Subsequent entries in the PC register label the case as Montserrat and say, as the APC points out, that the court appealed from was the Chancery Court of Montserrat. The date given for the order appealed from is 6 October 1740 and the names of the participants in the subsequent entries match those in the first one, so there is little doubt that we are dealing with the same case.
