Legal Authority of Colonial Transportations in High Treason Case
The Attorney General argues colonial legislative power and royal prerogative authorize transportation as punishment for treason. He defends the legality of detaining Watson in Liverpool, transporting via Quebec to Van Dieman's Land, and denies need for a warrant. The Solicitor General and peers scrutinize the return to habeas corpus and question jurisdiction and due process.
