CIVIL JUSTICE in the WEST INDIES: (JAMAICA.) 101
General Observations and Suggestions.
in England, and as the subject of proceedings in equity has of late excited considerable
attention in this country, and numerous complaints of the ruinous effects of the
equity jurisdiction in Jamaica on estates there, when brought under its management
and control, have been made to us, we feel it our duty to endeavour to propose some
remedy for this evil, and for this purpose we shall avail ourselves, in so far as it may
with a view to local circumstances be practicable or necessary, of the labours of the
Commissioners appointed by His Majesty to enquire into the practice of the courts
of equity in this country; Mr. Commissioner Dwarris's Third Report. premising, that whatever suggestions we may feel it our
duty to make, will be founded on the supposition that it may be deemed advisable
by His Majesty, to transfer the functions of Chancellor in Jamaica, as has been
recommended by Mr. Dwarris for the other British Colonies, (in which recommendation
we perfectly concur), to a regular equity lawyer; and thus to relieve his
representatives in the Colonies from an office which subjects them to great inconvenience
and perplexity.
