Note 1 — LA VIRGEN DEL ROSARIO Y EL SANTO CRISTO DE BUEN VIAGE.
Reading edition
This document appears, substantially the same, in Sir William Burrell's report in Marsden, op. cit. (see doc. no. 184, note 1), p. 185. Ybañez having appealed from Judge Morris's decree, the case came at last before the Lords Commissioners for Appeals in Prize Causes. Their names are given in the heading. Granville, earlier known as Carteret, was lord president of the council from 1750 to 1763, Kinnoull chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster 1760-1762, Mansfield chief justice 1756-1788. Cholmondeley and Falmouth were lieutenant-generals. Nugent and Ellis were vice-treasurers for Ireland and members of Parliament. All these commissioners were privy councillors, all were politicians, none but Mansfield was a lawyer, though the wide range of Granville's learning embraced a considerable knowledge of the law.
