Notes |
|
The petition of Mathew Norris requests that the appeal of Solomon Medina Mossesson, Moses Medina and Abraham Medina, and Roderigo Pacheto be dismissed for non-prosecution. Smith (p.188, referencing Norris v Four Casks, etc. of Snuff) states that this appeal was in fact to the Lords Commissioners for Hearing Prize Appeals though the wording in the APC and the entry in Hough, New York Vice-Admiralty 1715–1788, p.8–10, might imply otherwise. |
