LAW INTII 11GENCF. IN cnicritarprpori PRIM THE PRECED!NG PACE. COII2T OF I XCHEQLIER CHAMBER, NOV. 2f. The Judge, lit in the Exchequer ChAniber to hear argnmeors on cafes referved for their opinion. THE KING V. ANTONIE DEPFRADo. The cafe referved was this :—The defendant was a Spaniard, taken prifoner of war on board a Dutch fhip captured in the Eft Indies. At Pulo Penang, commonly called the Prince of Wales's Ifland ; he volunteered from on board the Blenheim to navigate the Eaft Indic Company's {hip the Alnwick Cattle. Being rated as one of her crew, and receiving pay accordingly, he arrived in the river of Carlton in China, where in an affray he killed an Englifh failor of the name of Burn. lie was tried for mantlangh-1 ter at the Lift Salons at the Old Bailey, and found Guilty ; lubjeCt, however, to the opinion of the Ju.lges, whether he, being a Spaniard, could be hied for the laid offence in this country ? Mr. BURROW ES argued, that he was in no lenfe of 'he word a fubjeet of this country, and owed Do al legiance to our Sovereign, and therefore could not ; be tried in our Courts. He was a Spaniard and an alien enemy, and it was not in his power, by any ad i of his own, in volunteering to go on board a mer chantman, to divell hirnfilf of the allegiance which i he owed to his own Sovereign, the King of Spain, or to make himfelf, by any conliration of law, a Britifh fubjeCt. The A& of the 33d of Henry VIII. for trying murders committed in foreign countries, re• laced only to offences committed by Britifh inhjees;. and the Al of the prefent King, which extended the principle to cafes of manflaughter, went no farther. If this offence had been committed either in this! country or even at Prince of Wales's Ifland, in loch cafe the p• ifoner, though a Spaniard, would be re fponfibie to our laws, becaufe every man owes a tem porary or local allegiance to that power in whole domini ms he !elides. This offence, however, was committed in China, where the local allegiance was due only to the Emperor of China. If he had vo lunteered on board a King's (hip, the cafe might' have been different, or at all events he would be, cognizable by a Court Martial. If the offence hadl been committed on the high fear, he would not take upon him to fay whether the Admiralty Court would have jurifdiftion or not ; but having been committed in China by a Spaniard, he mutt contend that it could not be legally tried before our Courts. This point appeared to him of the moll ferious importance, Sind deferving the greatelt attention, inafmuch as the lives of many Britifh fnbjeas in foreign countries might depend upon it. The principle of temporary and local allegiance to the Rate in whole territories a man refides, was a principle eafily under ftood and univerfally affented to ; but foreign nations would be very much at a lots to know upon what principle an alien enemy could be tried by our laws, for offen ces committed in another country. Mr. ABBOT, on the contrary, argued, that as he had enjoyed the proteCtion of the Britifh laws while he was on board the merchant chip, he mutt need farily owe an allegiance to that power whole protec tion he fo enjoyed. Lord ELLENBORnUGH afked Mr. Abbot whether he thought the Britifh laws would have enforced the contra°, if the owners of the merchant chip had not paid him the flipulated wages Mr. ABBOT allowed, that during the war they would not, as he could not fue while he was an alien enemy, and his property might be confifcated by the Crown. He mull, however, contend, that his life would have been proteCted by the Englilh laws, and that if, inilead of his killing Burn, Burn had killed him, he would undoubtedly have been liable to b e tried here, although the offence was committed in China. (Some of the Judges expelled diffent.)— The A& of Henry the Eighth introduced no new principle in our law, as before the palling of it, mur ders committed in foreign countries were triable be fore the Conflable and Earl Mar(hal. It appeared to him, that the prifoner, in changing his fituation from a prifoner of war to a mariner on board a mer chant (hip, had done an a 8 greatly to his own be nefit, and that as he did obtain the proteftion of our laws, he ought to be refponfible as a Britifh fubjedt for the breach of them. The Learned Counfel con. chided by citing three cafes in canonic of the drolrine for which he c ontended. The first was of a French prifoner of war, v ho, in 1799, was found guilty and punifhed tor rnanflaugter committed on board the Triton Earl Indiaman ; the fecond was, that of jean Prevoft, a Frenchman, who was executed for the murder of Captain iVilcocks, of the Lady Shore packet, on the coati of Africa ; and the third was of a Cirinefe, of the name of Acow, who was tried tall year and executed for the murder cf a Lafcar, on board one of our Indiamen. Mr. 13u R Itr,Was, in reply, obferved, that thole cafes had never been fcrioufly argued, as the prilmers had no Counfel ; the point was, however, new-made, and would, he trulted, be deemed worthy of the null ferious confederation. As to the jurifdittion which the Admiralty exercifed on the high leas, he conceived that it did not depend on our common law, but on the right which the country had fo long puffeffed of a fort of lovereignty on the feas. Lord ELLENAnKOUGH and Sir JAMES MANSFIELD obferved, that this country never claimed any fove reignty except in the Narrow Seas. [As far as we could colic& from the obfervations thrown out by the different Judges, it appeared to us that the inclination of their minds was, that this Spann prifoner could not be tried here for an offence commiord in China. The Connie! were, however, informed, that if the Judges fhould think that it was neceffary to argue the point further, their defire would be fignified to the ATTORNEY GENERAL and Mr. BURROW Es.] THE KING .V. BULLOCK. Mr. HOLAOYD requelled to be allowed forme fur- ther ti.ne to prepare liimfelf to argue this cafe, as he had got his brief but a day or two before. Lord ELLENBOROUGH faid, he ihculd certainly be allowed fufficient time to prepare himfelf ; but the Judges wou:d he glad to know, in the mean time, what obje.tiuns he princ ipally relied, on. Mr. HOLttuYY laid, his firtt objetlion was, that the conarifliun was invalidated by a prior aet of bank• ruptcy ; and his fecond. was that the commitlion was fisted to be under the Great Seal of Great Britain, and nut under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom et Great Britain and Ireland. Lord ELLIPAIMIOUGH informed the Learned Connie!, that, as to the fire objeCtion, it did not al,. pear to him that it could he fupported, as no evi dence had been given at the trial of there having exilled any petitioning creditor's debt upon which a commilTion could have been iirued at the time of that prior aft of bankruptcy. The itriking the docket appeared to be a mere fraud. Mr. GURNEY, in reply r. the fecond objeCtion, read a number of Statutes paired finee the Union, which mentioned the Great Seal of Great Britain and the Great Seal of Ireland feparately. He alfo read the chapter of the AEI of Union which had been relied n. and from which it would appear, that the Great Seal of the United Kingdom was intended to be ufeLl for imperial purpofes, fuch as calling an Impe rial Parliament, fettling the Title of his Majelly, &c. The argument was ordered to nand over till the firli Monday after Term. HUBBARD In JOHNSTON. This ca.le, which was argued in Trinity Term by Mr. SCOTT, for the plaintiffs in error, againft four judgments of the Court of King's Bench, and by Mr. HALL, for the defendants, was again argued at great length. On the part of the defendants, who were plain tiffs in the Court of King's Bench, it was contended, that if a snip belonging to Calcutta were to be pm.- chafed by a perfon refiding in London, while the was upon the fear, that after deliver icg her cargo at any port in England to which fie was bound, accor ding to the rsth and 16th fektions of the 3.; Geo. 111. cap. 68. the fhtp mull go back again to Calcutta empty, to comply with the requifites of thole fec. tions at that port, and then return to England be tore the could trade for the benefit of the purchafer. • On the part of the plaintiffs in error, this was contended to he a monfirous propolition, and that thefe fallow, by a aria, legal, and grammatical con ttrOlion, applied only to cafes of transfer from one perfon to another perfon of the fame port ; and that therefore, the port of the owner being the port of the (hip, the (hip mutt of necetllty, after her voyage, return to her own port, and then all the inconveni ence fuggefled by the other fide would not apply. The Court took further time to confider the cafe. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, N0V. 2 .5. THEODORE CRITICO. Mr. Serjeant BEST moved, that the conditional rule he had obtained for difcharging this perfor, from cuilody, on the ground of his being privileged (torn arrell, in the capacity of Turk& Confol, iimuld now he made abfolute. Mr. Serjeant Bailey (hewed caufe againff this rule. He Rated, that he had affidavits in his hand, not from the-Turkilh Miniller (for he would conceive it beneath his dignity to make an affidavit) but from his interpreter, and from a Mr. John Lowe, the clerk to the attorney in this caufe. The affidavit of the latter was, in fuhflance, that the Defendant Theodore Critico, had been arrefled for a debt of 341. at the fail of the Plaintiff, and put in bail, but the hail had fince rendered him up, and he was now in the King's Bench prifon. (The Court hereupon a(ked, how their juri•didion could extend to the King's Bench prifon ? To which it was anfwered, that the anion on which the Defendant was arrefled, commenced in the (k)mmon Pleas, and he was re. moved from the Fleet to the King's Bench by Ha. heal Corpus.) The next affidavit was from the in• terpreter of his Majefly, in the relations with the Minilieu of the Turkifh Empire. He fwore that he was well acquainted with the Defendant, Theodore Critico, who had been appointed by the Sultan Selina as Skia-bender, or Conful General of the Sublime Porte, at London. The appointment which had been made by the Sultan Salim, had been approved of by his Majelly. There were alfo affidavits from the Sheriff's officer who arrefted him, and from the Plaintiff's attorney. When the Sheriff's officer firft came to arrea him, the Defendant told him he was privileged, and the Sheriff's officer confidered him- Self bound to enquire into the nature of his protection. He fearehed the books of the Sheriffs of Middlefex, and nn fuck protedion appeared : he then called at the office of Mr. Canning, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and was there informed, that they knew no Inch perfon as privileged from arrefl, and that Theodore Critico was not then the Turkifh Con ful. The attorney for the Plaintiff afterwards called at the Foreign office, and Saw the Under Secretary, and Mr. Itoilettoa, who is at the head of the parti. cular department with which this was conneded.— ' Mr. Rolletton informed him, that Critico was not then Conful General, nor, if he had been Conful, would he have been, in that capacity, free from ar • rest. The entitle of proceeding in the office was this: The Ambaffadors fent to the Foreign Office a lift of their Servants, and the perfons attached to their Ent baffy. The perfons named in this ha were protected from atrelt, and notice was fent to the Sheriffs of Middlefex, in whore books thole proteCtions were en. tered. It had never been underffood, however, that a Conful was entitled to this proteOion ; or, if it were, the Defendant was no longer Conful ; and if he had not been exprefsly removed, the dethronement of the Sultan Salim, or the exilting holtilities with Tut key, would have vacated the appointment. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD Paid, that if the prnte(tion was only as to a fetvant of the Ambaffador, and the Ambaffador had not fent in his name, it was clear 1 that he was not entitled to it. Mr. Serjeant BEST, in reply, faid, that it was tot as attached to the Embaly, or fervant of the Am baffador, that the Defendant claimed the privilege, but it was as Conful General, appointed by the Fir man of the Grand Signior, and approved of by his Majefty under his fign manual. He had the original Finnan of the Grand Signior then in the Court. Sir Jesus MarisrrELD4 6 There is no occalion to (hew us that, for we cannot nuderfland a word of it." Mr. Serjeant Bssr continued—The ground that he relied on was not that the Defendant was a perfon belonging to the Embaffy, and therefore claimed protection under the flatute of Qzeen Anne, but it was that he had been regularly appointed and re ceived as Conful General ; and that the perfon of a Conful General was protested, not by a particular AEt r.f Parliament, but by the law of nations. This was alerted exprefsly by one of the ableft writers on the law of nations (Vatel, book 2. chap. 2.) and there were no adjudged cafes in oppofition to fo re fpeaable an authotity. If the perfon of a Conful General was entitled to this protedion, he lhould con:end that the protettion continued until his fuc eefror arrived. VrairefpeCt to Ambaffadort, this was oniverfally the cafe except in Turkey, where they fometimes lent Ambafradors to the Seven Towers the moment the nation they belonged to was at war with them ; but this was not the praCtice of the more civilized nations. His Majelly might have fent the Defendant out of his dominions if he thought pro per ; but while he remained in the country, or until his' fucceffor arrived, he had a right to the privileges attached to the fituation to which he had been regu larly appointed. Sir JAMES MANSIIELD laid, that as it was not much the pratflice of the Turkilh Empire to have regular Ambafradors or Crnfuls, it was poliible that his fuc celror might never arrive. Mr. Serjcant BEST oblerved, that it had been the praftice latterly, and for the lall ten years, there had been a Turkifh Minifler in London. The Court ordered the arguments to (land over for a day or two, until farther enquiries fhould be made. BIRTHS. On Monday fe'nnight, at Hinton Houfe, the Lady of Thomas Kingleote, Efq. of a fon.
