Other Documents

Other DocumentsThis case was reported as Burn and his wife Cole, alias Allin, Amb. 415, 27 ER 277 (P.C. 7 April 1762). Lord Mansfield’s opinion refers to the appeals of Browne v Phillips in Dec. 1739 and Williams v ____, 1747. The latter is likely Williams v Witter, JAM_1746_03. The Browne case has not yet been identified.
