Notes |
|
Related to other Privy Council appeals: Palmes and Hallam v [Winthrop] – Report No. 01_1699_01 (APC, v.2 [733] p.328) Hallam v Winthrop – Report No. 01_1699_02 (APC, v.2 [734] p.328) The appeals of Palmes and Hallam are related, arising predominately from a dispute about the will of John Liveen, stepfather of John and Nicholas Hallam. Palmes and Hallam v [Winthrop] amounts to requests by Palmes and Hallam to require Connecticut to allow an appeal in its courts in a matter regarding the seizure of the ship Liveen, with further right to appeal to the King in Council if desired. Hallam v Winthrop concerns the Hallam brothers’ attempt to obtain the estate of John Liveen. This case continues Palmes’s controversy regarding the Liveen and adds an appeal from a dispute related to his rights to a part of the estate of the late John Winthrop through Palmes’s late wife Lucy, daughter of John Winthrop. These appeals are noted particularly for the comment of the crown law officers that appeals lay to the King in Council as a right inherent in the crown. |
