List of Images of Pages of Printed Cases and Other Documents
in the British Library

 

Not surprisingly, the British Library has the largest collection of Privy Council printed cases in the world. They also have a superb Imaging Services Department. All other things being equal, we have used their images in preference to others’. We would also like to acknowledge the cordial cooperation that we received from the Library’s staff.

Clicking on any of the links below will bring you to an image of the page listed embedded in an HTML frame. You may download a single copy of the image for private study, scholarly, or educational purposes only. You can navigate between the pages either by using the arrows at the top and bottom of the image frame or by returning to this page, which will remain in a tab or separate window.

Other Documents

Petition of Appellant

Library

British Library: (Hardwicke Papers) Additional Manuscripts 15491 f.11–15 (Manuscript catalogued by the BL as “Brief of a case between Lieut Col Gabriel Christie, Appt, and Francis N Knipe and John Le Quesne, respts, at Quebec, 1766.” It is said to be found on f.11–15, but there are only nine images. It is hard to tell from the images what is recto and what is verso, but the image that follows the dorse of the document is clearly marked as f.16[r]. It is possible that f.11r is blank and not photographed, or that the foliation, which is modern, was expanded to accommodate the insertion of a document with an uneven number of pages. What we have seems to be complete. The first image is entitled “Petition of the appellant,” and that seems to be what it is. The dorse of the last image, however, describes the document as the brief of the appellant. It is attested by Yorke and Norton and may have served as an appendix to their printed case.)
