Notes

This action involves alleged illegal seizure of slaves and merchandise from a seized vessel. The attorney for John Bawdon and John and Thomas Temple of London, owners of the vessel, is referred to as John Wott in the heading of the case in Morris, New York City Mayor’s Court 1674–1784, p.648, and the case is indexed in that volume as Wott v Billop on p.758, However, the text of Billop’s petition and the Order in Council, transcribed in id., p.650–652, refer to the attorney as John West. APC, v.2 [89] p.38–39 (appended to the linked view of APC above) concerns a related action against Capt. Billop from the West Indies.
