ADMIRALS. I. OF THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. I. OF THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.* 1. The King holds the office of Lord High Admiral in a capacity distinguishable from his regal character; and although he is the his regal character; and although he is the fountain of all prize, he has conveyed away his interest in it to various persons; to the commanders and crews of his own ships; to his other subjects by letters of marque; and to the Lord High Admiral of England. The Mercurius, Gerdes, 1 C. Rob. 81. 2. The rights of the Lord High Admiral are of great antiquity and splendour, and are entitled to great attention and respect. At the same time it is not to be understood that an extension of these rights beyond their absolute limits is to be favoured by construction; they are parts and parcels of the ancient rights of the Crown, communicated by former grants to that officer under a very different state and administration of his office from that which now exists in practice. The Rebeckah, Thompson, 1 C. Rob. 229.; The Maria Françoise, Le Bourch, 6 C. Rob. 297. 3. The grants from the Crown of these rights will be construed strictly against the grantee, as all grants of the Crown are. The Rebeckah, Thompson, 1 C. Rob. 229.; The Gertruyda, De Vries, 2 C. Rob. 219. 4. The grant to the Lord High Admiral, whatever it conveys, carries with it a total 1. Of the antiquity and origin of the office of Lord High Admiral in England, see Godolphin's Admiral Jurisdiction, p. 22. ; and see the Catalogue of Lord High Admirals from the time of King John to that of Charles II., in the Appendix thereto. 2. The office and duties of the Lord High Admiral are considered in The King v. Forty-nine Casks of Brandy, 3 Hagg. 279. 3. The 2 William & Mary, c. 2. recognizes and confirms the right of the Commissioners for execut and perpetual alienation of the rights of parliament can restore them. the Crown, and nothing thert of an act of But the grant to captors is nothing more than a mere temporary transfer of the beneficial interest. Against captors standing on such an interest, the construction is the same as it would be against the Crown itself, because they cannot be pronounced against, in favour of the Lord High Admiral without alienation of the Crown's right to prize pronouncing in effect that a perpetual taken under the circumstances of war had already been made to the Lord High Admiral. The Maria Françoise, Le Bourch, 6 C. Rob. 282. 5. It may be presumed that there was at all times a Lord High Admiral, the exercising the office by commissioners being of modern date. The King v. Forty-nine Casks of Brandy, 3 Hagg. 271. 287. See DROITS OF ADMIRALTY. II. OF ADMIRALS GENERALLY. 6. The actual wrongdoer is the only person responsible in a Court of Admiralty for injuries of seizure; and if the Admiral of the station is not privy to the fact, a suit will not be entertained against him. The Mentor, Campbell, 1 C. Rob. 179. See FLAG SHARE. ing the office of Lord High Admiral to exercise the same authorities and powers as belong to the Lord High Admiral himself; and the 7 & 8 G. 4. c. 65. declares that all powers conferred on such Commissioners shall extend to the Lord High Admiral and his counsel. 4. The Lord High Admiral anciently had a tenth part of all prize goods, but by the 13 G. 2. c. 4. s. 2. that right is taken away. B III. OF THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE HIGH VII. OF VICE ADMIRALTY COURTS. I. OF COURTS OF ADMIRALTY GENERALLY. 1. Sentences in Courts of Admiralty ought to bind generally according to the jus gentium. Hughes v. Cornelius, (34 Car. 2.), Skin. 59., 6 Viner's Abr. 519. v. Cornelius (1681), 2 Show. 232.; S. C. Ld. Raym. 473.; S. C. Skin. 59. 3. Peremptory sentence in a Court of Admiralty beyond sea will conclude the parties here. Newland v. Horseman, 1 Vern. 21. 2. A sentence pronounced in a foreign Admiralty Court is conclusive here, if it be II. OF THE HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY a final and not an interlocutory sentence. Jurado v. Gregory (1668), 1 Lev. 267. ; S. C. 1 Vent. 32., 1 Sid. 418.; S.P. Hughes 1. By the 3 & 4 Vict. c. 65. s. 19. the same privileges and protection as are possessed by the judges of the superior Courts of Common Law are allowed to the judge of the Court of Admiralty. 2. The 3 & 4 Vict. c. 66. regulates the salary, emoluments, &c. of the judge, registrar, marshal, OF ENGLAND.* 4. The Court of Admiralty does not claim the character of a court of general equity, and other officers of the High Court of Admiralty of England. 3. The Court of Admiralty is not a Court of record. 12 Co. 104., 4 Inst. 135., 13 Rep. 53., 6 Viner's Abr. 521, 522., 12 Rep. 104.; but see Godolphin's Admiral Jurisdiction, cap. X. p. 119. et seq.
