Notes |
|
Smith (p.186) notes that the register indicates in error that an appeal had already been granted to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty; in fact it was to the High Court of Admiralty. However, given uncertainties about the jurisdiction of the Vice Admiralty Court, the appellant felt it “more proper to appeal to the King in Council.” |
