Colonial Courts

Court of Common Right – Amboy Perth – East New Jersey

Participants

Fullerton, James

Jones, Jeffrie (Geoffrey) of Elizabeth Towne in Essex County

Description

[Land claims] (in ejectment). This “cause arose in endeavors of the East New Jersey proprietors to enforce claims to land in the so-called ‘Elizabeth purchase’,” according to Smith (p.366 n.66).

Disposition

Reversed

Notes

There is good reason to doubt the reality of the lease to Fullerton, and there can be little doubt that the Proprietors of East Jersey were the real parties at interest in this case. See the note specific to this case in Additional Research.
