I think the Crown was well advised that a Petition of Right will not lie in this case.
The Queen v. Powell N.S. 1029 decided that a Petition of Right will not lie to recover Compensation for a wrongful act done by a servant of the Crown in the supposed performance of his duty; and generally will not lie for a claim sounding in tort.
The Colonial Secretary has apparently overlooked the fact that the Memorialist stated in his Memorial that he had no case at law.
