Notes

The APC and PC 2 say that both court decisions took place in 1767. However, the January decision reverses the May decision, so at least one of the dates is incorrect.

It is not known if this James Doran is the same James Doran who in 1757 bought and then sold Olaudah Equiano, famous for his autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano.
