[Footnote 1: This document appears, substantially the same, in Sir
William Burrell's report in Marsden, _op. cit._ (see doc. no. 184,
note 1), p. 185. Ybanez having appealed from Judge Morris's decree,
the case came at last before the Lords Commissioners for Appeals in
Prize Causes. Their names are given in the heading. Granville, earlier
known as Carteret, was lord president of the council from 1750 to
1763, Kinnoull chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster 1760-1762,
Mansfield chief justice 1756-1788. Cholmondeley and Falmouth were
lieutenant-generals. Nugent and Ellis were vice-treasurers for Ireland
and members of Parliament. All these commissioners were privy
councillors, all were politicians, none but Mansfield was a lawyer,
though the wide range of Granville's learning embraced a considerable
knowledge of the law.]
