Notes |
|
The appeal regarding the Salisbury was directed to Admiralty, considered by the Massachusetts court for the King in Council, but finally found resolution with the Treasury with a passing reference to the Commissioner of Customs. It stands as an example of the early confusion over appellate jurisdiction, according to Smith (p.93). |
