Notes

The proceedings in this appeal took place in Carolina as the APC margin note and all Privy Council register entries, except the last, indicate. However, the APC indexes the matter as a Barbadian appeal and the final register entry refers to “a sentence in Barbados.” But for the index and final register entry, this appeal would have been solely attributed to Carolina. In fact, a duplicate report of it is found in Part I under South Carolina (12_1699_00), though South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia were not established as separate entities at this date.
