| Library | Hamilton College Library: (Beinecke Lesser Antilles Collection) M163 (12 pages, 1 blank) (Endorsed “Case [x-d out] Sir Fletcher Norton 1 gua [guinea], Geo Bristow & Winterbottom, Merch. Taylors Hall 10th Octr. 1765.” This is clearly the same set of facts as are involved in the appeal, but considering the date, the opinion seems to have been rendered before the appeal was taken.) |
