Σελίδα 109 - 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.
Σελίδα 150 - 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.
