Description |
Dispute over guardianship and support of nephews of Robert D’Oyly |
Disposition |
Not stated in Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial Series |
Notes |
|
The petition appears to allege a dispute relating to the guardianship of minors and an intestate estate. The initial guardianship decision involved the probate jurisdiction of the Governor and the county court. Whether or not the petition of D’Oyly is a ‘true’ appeal from a judgment cannot be determined from the APC. |
