	Considering Zenger: Partisan Politics and the Legal Profession in Provincial New York
		James took the constitutional opportunity presented by his accession to the throne in 1685 to restructure the government of New York without even the ghost of a representative assembly.
		The young James DeLancey, son of one of the richest and most influential men of the Province, educated at Cambridge and the Inner Temple, not yet thirty and already a Justice of the Supreme Court, was another staunch ally.
		Smith then engaged DeLancey in colloquy as to whether the exceptions had been rejected or overruled, the primary intention of which--since procedurally all that was at stake was whether counsel had to move their lost exceptions into the record--was to drive DeLancey to confess that he didn't know the difference.

	Levermore, Whigs of Colonial New York
		DeLancey, under irresistible pressure, consented, but his heart misgave him, for he was far-sighted, and did not, like his friends, despise the temper of the plebeian multitude.
		DeLancey was still in the executive chair, and although his partisans fully controlled the Council and the Assembly, the Livingston campaign won success, for it forced a compromise.
		The DeLanceys were clever enough, on the one hand, to intensify the opposition between the Sons of Liberty and those rich lawyers, the Livingstons, and on the other hand, to excite the merchant class against the Whig alliance with the mob.

	Sullivan - History of New York State 1523-1927
		In DeLancey's court in April, 1735, exception was filed by Smith and Alexander to the "commissions of the Court." Chief-Justice DeLancey angrily inquired of the lawyers whether they had considered the possible consequence of their boldness.
		Chief Justice DeLancey and Puisne Justice Philipse sat upon the bench; Attorney-General Bradley was the prosecutor, alert yet confident of the outcome; and Attorney Chambers was, it seems, as concerned in taking ground that would be safe for himself as in bringing advantage to his client.
		DeLancey nevertheless, clung to the Chief Justiceship, though he was forced to leave all judicial matters to the puisne justices.
