Notes |
|
Summers is indexed in the APC as an appeal. No particular court is specified. Smith lists no appeals to the Privy Council from the Vice Admiralty Court in New York. Hough, New York Vice-Admiralty 1715–1788, p.4–5, does reference an action involving the Good Intent in this time period. Whatever the court, Vice Admiralty or otherwise, whether Summers’s petition was in fact an ‘appeal’ in the technical sense of the term is unclear. |
