JUGII COURT OF ADMIRALTY.
DOCTORS COMMONS.
Yesterday fir James Marriot, judge
of the court of admiralty, lat by ad
journment, when prize causes to the
amount of fixty.eight were heard and
determined.
The ST. JAGO.
This cause, which had been argued
on the part of the raptors, and which
had been adjourned to this day by fir
James Marriot, in order that time
might be given to the parties to al
certain whether the court of Spain
had adopted any regulation reipelting
the capture of the velle's of allies,
was again poflponed to tae next fit
ting day in October ; the Spanish
ambassador not having asyet received
any answer to theexprefs he had lent
off to his court on the occahon.
A veil'd called the Hope, prize to
the piivateer, the Loyal Anne, was
among the lilt of condemnations this
day ; the particulars as follows :
A French merchant, M. Godfrej')
brought a cargo of sugar, cotton, and
coffee, from Cape-,Francois to Charlei
Carolina, which he there
iliipped, together with a quantity ol
tobacco, the property of two other
French merchants, on hoard the
above prize for Bourdeaux. It ap
peared, from the papers found on
board, that the Ihip and cargo, being
entirely French property, were tranl
ferred nominally to an American gen
tleman, in whole namethey were clear
ed out of Charleston. The captain and
crew were Americans. The French
gentlemen, the real owners, were
passengers on board the prize when
taken.
Sir James Marriot. was clearly of
©pinion, that the capture was perfectly
conformable to the law’ of nations,
and as such condemned the whole, for
the benefit of the captors.
FGRTUNA, Danish ship.
This is a case of great commercial
cor.lcquence to America and ail other
neutral powers. The (hip was laden
with wheat at Hamburg, and failed tor
Brett, in the early part of March last
flie put into Yarmouth on the 12th
of March, where she was flopped by
the pert officer, and the wheat taken
out for the king’s use, and the current
price being paid, the ship was libe
rated. This application was made for
the freight and cotts.
Several affidavits tvere read to prove
the ship and property to be Daniffi.
The treaty between England and
Den mark, in the year 1781, proved,
that wheat was not an article liable
to confifcation, unless it was intended
for an enemy’s town or port, which
was befiegcd or blocked up.
In favour of the claim it was said,
that there could be no mala fJis on
the part of the Danes *, as they had
put into an English port, being un_
confeious of any ill intention toward ;
England. That his majelly’s inflruc
tions to the port officers, particularly
directed that the article of wheat was
not lubjetfl to confifcation, but, on
the contrary, that the value and the

freight were to be paid.— That the
niealure, for many reafous, would be
impolitic, as well as unjutt.
Sir William Scott, for the crown,
argued againtt the claim of freightage#
under this nice dittinclion goods,
which are the growth and produce of
Denmark, shipped in Daniih ships, if
the cargo is flopped, the goods, toge
ther with the freight, mutt be paid
for ; but in this case the ship fails
from Bergin to Hamburg, and takes
cn board a cargo of foreign corn,
avowedly under the influence of
France, through the agency of a
French gentleman, monl. Botie.
The king’s advocate further ar
gued, “ that by means of this mil
chievous activity. Denmark would be
carriers tor a 1 Europe and there
fore he contended, that the freight
and costs ought pot to be allowed.
Judge Marriot f id, that it was, a
case of infinite weight and confe
cjuence. It was evident that govern
ment had taken up this matter, by fir
William Scott’s llrong oppofuion to
the claim : the policy or impolicy of
it he should not question. On a for
mer occahon he had, tov many It TOlip
reafonsy recommended the payment us
freight upon A. goods that were not
subject to but the privy
council over-ruled him. He there
fore thought, that as this was a case
of such magnitude, that time mutt be
taken to conlider it.
