The passage above quoted in Calvin's case so much
of it as was reconcileable to common humanity and
common sense is the authority that appears to have
been taken as the groundwork of the opinion given by
these two great lawyers in 1722: taking the matter I mean as to one if the

first given to the King, 'right, in the case of
a Colony obtained by conquest, as Jamaica the
Colony in question was so far and so far only as concerned
the stocks and shares: as to the other part, [+] [+] that which concerns the right of the King in Colonies not obtained by conquest it had
forwarded for its evident foundation the at that time
undisputed exercise of that right.

question before them in both its divisions - viz: no
will in relation to all colonies of all sorts, whether obtained
by conquest or not obtained by conquest, what the
answer of these two great lawyers would have been would
be an enquiry while fruitless and useless. The answer
actually given by authors other great lawyers speaking
judicially in the Grenada case. I mean Lord Mansfield
and his Colleagues of on the King's Bench might certainly
afford some ground of presumption as to
what might have been the opinion of great lawyers
at the still former earlier period. In 17674
field and his Colleagues had not been able to extend
- their virtues views further than to the case of Calvin in the
beginning of the reign of James the first: these had neither looked
further backwards back to the St Alban's case in about 1588, nor forward onwards to the principles
established by the in 1688 by the Bill of Rights. Why? [+] Already
