PUBLICATION. [heading]

By His Honor Lieutenant Colonel Robert Nicholson, Lieutenant-Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and their Dependencies, President in all Courts and Colleges, &c. &c. &c. and the Honble. the Vice President, and Court of Criminal and Civil Justice of the Colony of Demerary, &c. &c. &c.
Unto all whom it may or shall concern, Be it known:
Whereas We have taken into consideration that a Fine of Five & twenty Guilders which the Parties interested used to deposit at the Secretary's Office, in case of their appealing to the full Court of Justice from Interlocutory decisions of the Roll Courts, is by no means sufficient to prevent the abuse that may be made of such appeals for the purpose of delaying Law Proceedings; that by the Instructions prescribed by the Sovereign to the Courts of Justice of these Colonies, the amount of such Fine is not fixed, in like manner as it was customary with the Supreme Courts in Holland, to use a Discretionary Power in regulating the amount of such Fines according to the Nature of the case; And Whereas we have also considered that altho' on one hand every means should be afforded a Defendant to make good his defence, yet that on the other hand it is of equal necessity to cut off and check as much as possible, all such Practices of Chicanery as may be recurred to, merely for the sake of obstructing the course of the Law.We therefore have Judged fit to lay down as a rule for the future, that those who may wish to appeal to the full Court of Justice, from any Interlocutory decisions of the Roll court, shall deposit in the Secretary's Office, instead of Five & Twenty Guilders, a Fine of Fifty Joes or Eleven hundred Guilders Dutch Currency, to be refunded to them in case of the decision of the Roll Court so appealed from, being afterwards reversed by the Court of Justice.
And that no Ignorance may be pretended hereof, these Presents shall be Published and Posted up as customary.
Thus Resolved in Our Ordinary Session, held at the Court House in Stabroek, Demerary, the 25th of May 1804. and Published the 16th June next thereto following.
M. LaMaison, v.t.
By Command of the Court of Justice,
P. F. Tinne, D. Secty.
