Appeals to the Privy Council from the American Colonies

 

List of Appeals by Short Case Name, Colony, and Date

 

The date is the date of the first mention in the Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial Series. Information in brackets is not found in the APC but in Joseph Smith, Appeals to the Privy Council from the American Plantations. The case name is linked to the report that contains the case. Alphabetization ignores the prefix. Hence, a case name beginning ‘In re The’ will be found under the name of the vessel. Appeals with alternate names are listed under both names.
