Reading edition

Thus, for example, at one stage of the proceedings before the Privy Council about Barbadoes, we find the Lord Keeper Coventry reporting to the Board upon an order of reference: ‘I am of opinion that Barbadoes is not one of the Caribbee Islands.... But ... I am also of opinion that the proof on Lord Carlisle’s part that Barbadoes was intended to be passed in his Patent is very strong.’—Colonial Papers, April 18, 1629, vol. v, § 11. See also The King to Wolverton, Ib., § 13.
