The Case of Long V. Bishop of Cape Town

This legal case study provides a fascinating look at the early history of South Africa's legal system. William Long examines the dispute between Bishop Gray and the Reverend W.W. Sedgwick over the ownership of church property, which ultimately led to a landmark decision by England's Privy Council. With detailed analysis of the legal arguments and key personalities involved, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of law in colonial Africa.
