Description |
Arrest and seizure of property of the acting governor Richier. Smith (p.129) indicates that this was because he had refused to divide the profits of the government. |
Disposition |
Judgments in Bermuda rendered null and void with instructions for further proceedings to examine Richier’s complaint against Goddard. |
Notes |
Related to another Privy Council appeal: Not indexed as an appeal. The APC miscites the penultimate CSP reference as XII no. 934; the correct citation is XII no. 734. |
