Participants not mentioned in the APC were added here for clarity. Information about these participants was obtained from related primary and other sources. In particular, the APC lists James Barclay as the executor of James Knight. Both printed cases have him as the executor of John Knight, deceased, who was himself the executor of James Knight.

The appellant’s and respondent’s printed cases are summarized in Caribbeana: miscellaneous papers relating to the history, genealogy, topography, and antiquities of the British West Indies, ed. Vere Langford Oliver (London: Mitchell, Hughes, and Clarke, 1909–1919), 6:71 (view).
