Halifax Opinion on Enquiry into Justices Conduct 1753
The governor and council complete their inquiry into complaints against the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions. They find mixed results on articles accusing the Justices of missteps, delays, and conduct, with multiple articles dismissed or supported by reasons and legal practice. They urge peaceful Plea and Liberty, caution against sedition, and invite aggrieved parties to petition the council directly.
