Excerpt from History of the Court of Chancery in Nova Scotia
The object of this paper is to present an outline of the history of the several courts of justice both civil and criminal which have administered the laws of this Province from its earliest settlement to the present day - to trace the origin of their jurisdiction - to follow in historical sequence their growth and development; to mark the various changes and modifications in their constitution and procedure, and to note some of the peculiarities of our judicial system. This information is to be found principally in the archives of the Province, which, owing to the care of the late Dr. Aikins have been preserved and arranged in an accessible form. Too much credit cannot be given to that learned and honoured Nova Scotian for the zeal and fidelity with which he performed that useful work.
I take more pleasure in publicly bearing testimony to his honourable character, and accurate work, because not long since both were violently assailed in a work which largely dealt with his labour in connection with the Provincial Archives. No one who knew that venerable and highly esteemed gentleman would for a moment credit such aspersions, but with the outside world such slanders uncontradicted might have some weight.
