Notes |
|
The APC labels this appeal ‘Massachusetts Bay’ where the appellant lived rather than ‘Rhode Island’, which is the site of the court in which the proceedings were held. From the entry in the Privy Council’s register, it appears that there may have been a misunderstanding about the colony in which Newport was located. |
