Court of Virginia |
Participants |
|
Ballard, Francis (lessee of Samuel Selden) Beverley, Robert Selden, Rebecca (wife of Samuel Selden) Selden, Samuel (husband of Rebecca Selden and lessor of Francis Ballard) |
Description |
Land (“proceedings . . . touching two plantations of lands” [Selden], “petition . . . of the lessee of Samuel Selden, and Rebecca his wife on behalf of himself and the said lessors, complaining of proceedings . . . touching two plantations of lands,” [Ballard]) |
Disposition |
Council advises reversal but leaves parties at liberty to try cause again in Virginia and to appeal upon a special verdict. |
Notes |
|
On the original actions involved here, see Additional Research. APC, v.2 [1240] p.702, notes an appeal of Robert Beverley (spelled Beverly) to which an appearance for Samuel Selden (spelled Seldon) was made. (Beverly v Seldon, Report No. 13_1715_00.) This may relate to the litigation here between these parties, but further investigation has not been made to verify that. Beverley’s petition for writ of attaint (somewhat puzzling in this context, granted that Ballard is also complaining about the result below) is dismissed on the advice of the Attorney General. See TNA Documents. |
