John P. Nicholson collection

  • CA PCA Acc4605
  • Collection
  • 1774-1872

The collection consists of three legal texts presumably collected by Justice Nicholson during his legal career. They include a book of case forms, handwritten by Phillips Callbeck circa 1774, "The lawyers' common-place book...", 1860 (inscribed "M. MacLeod") and "Reports of decisions of the Supreme Court, Court of Chancery, and Court of Vice-Admiralty of Prince Edward Island, delivered by Hon. James Horsfield Peters", 1872. The two latter books have labels marked "W.E. Bentley". The common-place book contains handwritten synopses of cases and the third volume also includes handwritten reports of cases not included in the printed volume. Some of these may be in Judge Nicholson's hand.
