Summary
James De Lancey (1703-1760) served as chief justice of the Supreme Court of New York, and as lieutenant governor, and acting colonial governor of the Province of New York. The papers include charges brought against De Lancey in his capacity as chief justice of the Supreme Court of New York by "the Committee Upon the Administration of Justice," likely a response to the case of Crown v. John Peter Zenger, ca. 1735; letters from De Lancey to Robert Hunter Morris (1755-1758) and Robert Monckton (1758-1760) relating to the activities of French troops in Canada and Pennsylvania; and an 1759 proclamation inviting seamen to enlist for service on board His Majesty's ships at Halifax.
