Note 197 — Chapter V · LORD DORCHESTER AND THE CANADA ACT OF 1791
Reading edition
See Shortt and Doughty, pp. 520-4 and notes; and Debrett’s Parliamentary Debates, vol. xx (1786), pp. 132-49. The statement that two years had passed since the petition was presented was not strictly correct, as the petition was dated November 24, 1784.
