Extracts from the case of Hall v Campbell
Extracts from the case of Campbell v. Hall v. Campbell — Michas. Term
15 9. 3. Rep. by Cowper — pp. 206 & —

p206 We have also given powers to the said governors, with
the consent of our said councils, and the representatives of
the people, to be summoned as aforesaid, to make, constitute
and ordain laws, statutes, and ordinances, for the public
peace, welfare, and good government of our said colonies and
the inhabitants thereof, as near as may be agreeable to
the laws of England, and under such regulations and
restrictions, as are used in our other colonies.

p. 208. A great deal has been said, and many authorities
cited relative to propositions, in which both sides seem to be
perfectly agreed; and which indeed are too clear to be
controverted. The stating some of those propositions which
we think quite clear, will lead us to see with greater
perspicuity, what is the question upon the first point,
and upon what hinge it turns. I will state the propositions
at large.

p. 208 The 4th, That the law and legislative government of
every dominion, equally affects all persons and all property
within the limits thereof; and is the rule of decision for
all questions which arise there. Whoever purchases, lives,
or ones there, puts himself under the law of the place.
An Englishman in Ireland, Minorca, the Isle of Man, or the
Plantations, has no privilege distinct from the natives.

p 209. The 6th, and last proposition is, that if the kings,
(and when I say the king, I always mean the king, without
the concurrence of parliament) has a power to alter the old
and to introduce new laws in a conquered country, this
legislation being subordinate, that is, subordinate to his
own authority in parliament, he cannot make any new
change contrary to fundamental principles: he cannot
exempt an inhabitant from that particular dominion;
as for instance, from the laws of trade, or from the
power of parliament, or give him privileges exclusive
of his other subjects; and so in many other instances
which might be put. —
