Extracts from the case of Hall v. Campbell

No 7
p. 213. &214 Whatever construction is to be put upon it [the
King's proclamation in Granada] which perhaps may be very
difficult through all the cares to which it may be applied,
it la alludes to a gorve government by laws in being, and
by courts of justices, not by a legislative authority, until
an assembly should be called.

No 8
pp 213,214 We therefore think, that by the two proclamations
and the commission to governor Melville, the King had immediately
and irrecoverably granted to all who were or
should become inhabitants, or who had, or should regain
property in the island of Granada, or more generally
to all whom it might concern, that the subordinate
legislation ever over the island should be exercised by
an assembly with the consent of the governor and
council, in like manner as the other islands belonging
to the king.

Therefore, though the abolishing the duties of the French
King and the substituting this tax in its stead, which
according to the finding in this special verdict is paid
in all the British Leeward Islands, yet, through the
inattention of the king' servants, in investing the order
in which the instruments should have passed, and
been nor notoriously published, the last act is contraducing
to, and a violation of the first, and is therefore void.
How proper soever it may be in sep respect of the
object of the letters patent of the 20th July, 1766, to use
the words of Sir Philip Yorke and Sir Clement Wearge,
"it can only now be done, by the assembly of the island,
"or by an act of the parliament of Great Britain. "
