Colonial Courts |
|
This is a petition, not an appeal from a colonial court action. |
Participants |
|
Walker, Rev. Timothy |
Description |
Petition asks that those aggrieved re land claims in New Hampshire be allowed to appeal though the value of individual parcels of land be below the minimum required. |
Disposition |
Privy Council grants Walker’s request upon recommendation of the Attorney and Solicitor General and the representation of the Board of Trade. |
Notes |
|
This action grew out of the boundary settlement between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The request preceded the appeal in Merrill v Proprietors of the Township of Bow, Report No. 06_1754_00 (APC, v.4 [231] p.239). |
