Σελίδα 124 - The neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband of war ; 3.

Σελίδα 178 - By the maritime law of nations universally and immemorially received, there is an established method of determination, whether the capture be, or be not, lawful prize. Before the ship or goods can be disposed of by the captor there must be a regular judicial proceeding wherein both parties may be heard, and condemnation thereupon as prize in a Court of Admiralty, judging by the law of nations and treaties.
Σελίδα 11 - The implied license, therefore, under which such vessel enters a friendly port, may reasonably be construed, and it seems to the court, ought to be construed, as containing an exemption from the jurisdiction of the sovereign, within whose territory she claims the rights of hospitality.
Σελίδα 148 - It was held by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council that the non-suit was improper.
