There is an extensive discussion of this dispute in Bilder, Salamanders and Sons of God, ch. 6. MacSparran v Hassard mentions that the March 1724 action in the General Court of Trials for MacSparran v Mumford is a rehearing from the General Court of Trials in Newport on the first Tuesday of September 1723. |
