Description: This catalogue lists all currently known colonial cases appealed to the Privy Council from the 13 colonies, plus the other "American" colonies in Canada and the Caribbean. For each appeal, the report gives: the colony from which the case was appealed; full and short name of the appeal as compiled from the entry in the "Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial Series" (APC); the names and dates of lower court actions; the names of participants; the subject matter and disposition of the case; and more. Lists include case names and parties to the cases, counsel retained in England, vessels, preliminary lists of appeals from Canada and from the Caribbean and a brief list of Caribbean printed cases found in three major libraries. The printed catalog is accompanied by a website (http://ames-foundation.law.harvard.edu/ColonialAppeals/) that provides links to original documents.--Publisher.
