Stran 129 - But there is nothing in our laws, or in the law of nations, that forbids our citizens from sending armed vessels, as well as munitions of war, to foreign ports for sale. It is a commercial adventure which no nation is bound to prohibit, and which only exposes the persons engaged in it to the penalty of confiscation.
Stran 132 - In pursuance of this policy, the laws of the United States do not forbid their, citizens to sell to either of the belligerent Powers articles contraband of war, or to take munitions of war or soldiers on board their private ships for transportation; and although, in so doing, the individual citizen exposes his property or person to some of the hazards of war, his acts do not involve any breach of national neutrality, nor of themselves implicate the Government.
Stran 82 - It is the duty of the person who sits here, to determine this question exactly as he would determine the same question, if sitting at Stockholm ; to assert no pretensions on the part of Great Britain, which he would not allow to Sweden in the same circumstances ; and to impose no duties on Sweden, as a neutral country, which he would not admit to belong to Great Britain, in the same character.

I shall hold therefore that a neutral master can never be heard to aver against a notification of blockade, that he is...
Stran 32 - King, having been informed that a treaty of amity and commerce had been signed between the Court of France and certain persons employed by his Majesty's revolted subjects in N"orth America...
Stran 61 - Tous navires qui se trouveront chargés d'effets appartenant à nos ennemis , et les marchandises de nos sujets ou alliés qui se trouveront dans un navire ennemi , seront pareillement de bonne prise.
Stran 113 - Now, in order to justify a condemnation for breach of blockade three things must be proved: 1st, the existence of an actual blockade; 2dly, the knowledge of the party ; 3dly, some act of violation, either by going in or coming out with a cargo laden after the commencement of the blockade.
Stran 154 - A capture made within neutral waters is, as between enemies, deemed to all intents and purposes rightful; it is only by the neutral Sovereign that its legal validity can be called in question ; and as to him, and him only, is it to be considered void.
Stran 167 - Chaytor made known these facts to the crew, and asserted that he had become a citizen of Buenos Ayres; and had received a commission to command the vessel as a national ship ; and invited the crew to enlist in the service; and the greater part of them accordingly enlisted.
