A study describing and evaluating the Privy Council of England as a judicial body that exercised jurisdiction over the courts of the various American plantations during the 17th and 18th centuries. Specifically discusses the Council's appellate jurisdiction over the Channel Islands and other Caribbean colonies, as they were more economically and strategically important than the mainland colonies.
