Principles in Boston Court Compliance and Privy Council Opinion
The document discusses the Boston court dispute with the General Court over writs and where the court should convene. It notes the 1693 act testing sheriff writs, the 1698 law approving Boston town house, and the 1721 adjournment to Cambridge. Privy Council reports support the governor’s prerogative and question the House’s claimed powers.
