Notes

Related to other Privy Council appeals:

    Torrey v Mumford – Report No. 11_1733_00 (APC, v.3 [293] p.402)

    MacSparran v Hassard – Report No. 11_1736_00 (APC, v.3 [390] p.518)

All of these Privy Council appeals concern a dispute about glebe land and have overlapping parties. There is an extensive discussion of this dispute in Bilder, Salamanders and Sons of God, ch. 6.

MacSparran v Hassard mentions that the March 1724 action in the General Court of Trials for MacSparran v Mumford is a rehearing from the General Court of Trials in Newport on the first Tuesday of September 1723.
