PERUVIAN.-PRIZE LAW.

The following Decree relative to vessels cap-
tured or detained has been published by the Go-
vernment of Peru :--

• 1. All cases of judicature respecting prizes, will be decided
definitively in three appeals.

2. Causes of this nature will -take place" in the following

cases :

If any vessel is found navigating in the seas comprehended
within the limits' of the state, without the necessary licenses or
documents, or with false ones:

If neutral or friendly vessels should be found conveying to the
territory occupied by the enemy warlike stores :
If they should force the blockade declared by the decree-of
the 15th of Octobei, 1821, ,and others that may be published
subsequently to it

If they would convey to the enemy any property that may be-
long to them : under all these cases they will certainly be de-

tained.

3. FrieridlT or neutral vessels found with illegal merchan-
.
dize on board will be detained, or should they be surprised
transacting business in prohibited ports ; but those cases relat-
ing to smuggling will be adjudged by the President of the de-
partment. .
4. Reipecting.prize judgments, the Director of Marine will
first give his opinion, consulting at the same time his auditor.
5. All vessels detained Must be carried to the port of Callao,
where the cause why they are-detained will be Shown.-
6. As soon as the detained vessel arrives at Callao, the captor
will present to the Director of Marine the papers he may have.
found on board, or those which the captain or supercargo may
have presented him, with to account of all that may haVe taken
place, and a list of the persons on board. .
7. In order that the papers found on board may be duly le.;
galized, the captor, in the act of detaining the vessel, will take
an account of them himself, or by the person he may appoint,
accompanied by the captain or supercargo, who ought to sign
the statement made out by them,. in order that by those docu-
ments only, and without admitting others afterwards, the ves-
sel shall be adjudged, and an authorized copy of those proceed-
•ings will be given them.
3. If the captor should suspect that the papers presented by,
the captain or supercmo of the vessel that he intends detaining
are false, he will compare theM by those given by the different'
states to their subjects, of which lie ought to have a copy,given_
him by the Director-General of Marine. .
9. These paperS being received, as well as all relating to•
them, by the Director General, he will then order the plead-

lugs to commence, •
10. Having•summoned the captain or supercargo of the yes-.
sel detained, , the examination of the paperi:will Commence
with their declarations, as' well as those of the 'captors, and
likewise the examination of all those whose testimony may be
thought necessary, or who may be able to throw any light on
the subject.
11. No other papers but those designated in 6th and 7th
article will be admitted. If the captain or supercargo of the
detained vessel should offer to prove, either that they would
not receive them from him or that they were lost •by unavoid-
able accident, the justification will be admitted within a short
and fixed term,
12. The cause being ended., the Director-General or Marine
will declare, if there are sufficient grounds for the detention of
the vessel or not, according to justice and the
,pleadings.
13. This Act leaves both parties at liberty to appeal.
14. An appeal from the captor, without first giving securities
for the damages and expences, will not be attended to.
15. The detained vessel will be set at liberty, without ex-
pence, if her detention be declared unjust, and if the captor
should not appeal.
16. In a contrary case, the vessel will continue until the
determination of the High Court of Justice. The same
will be done when, there may be an appeal on the part of the
detained.
17, If, whilst the pleading should be going on, it may be
thought or feared that the goods or merchandise in the detained
vessel might suffer a total loss, or great detriment, the Director
General will resolve whether it be proper or not to proceed to
discharge the vessel.
.18. Should it be deemed necessary to discharge the vessel
detained, the hatches will be opened in the presence of a com-
missioner appointed by the Director-General, and the captain or
supercargo, an exact inventory of the goods discharged, will
be taken, they ,will be depOsited in warehouses, and a key given
to the said captain or supercargo.
19. If the sale of part of the goods should be thought neces-
shry, it will be effected by public auction, or by means of Com-
missioners, according as the Captain or Supercargo of the de-
tained vessels may determine.
20. The pleadings from the High Court of Justiciary having
been returned, the Director-General will execute its resolution
to liberate or to detain the vessel. _

21,. When detained, a' copy of the proceedings will be given
to the captor, the party detained, and the Fiscal of Marine;
the same shall then he received, the decision for justification
being suspended for the express term of fifteen days, and with
all charges.
22. At the expiration of this term, the Director-General will
declare the detained vessel a good or an unlawful prize.
23. This sentence will - be, in both instances, subject to
appeal.
24. The appeal being presented, it will be substantiated and
resolved, in the second prosecution, by a memorial from both
parties.
25. The same order will be observed in the substantiation,
and termination in the third, if judgment upon the sentence
pronounced should be prayed for. •
26. These prosecutions being finished, the process will be re-
turned to the Director-Genejal of Marine, for him to execute
what is already decreed.
27. The vessel being declared a lawful prize, the discharging
of her will commence, comparing the goods landed with the
bills of lading, invoice, and the inventory 'taken when the
vessel was detained, to prevent the least irregularity or disorder.
28. The cargo will be disposed of as the Supreme Authority
may order. '
29. If the vessel should be declared free, she will be deli-
vered immediately to her, Captain, or owners, with her officers
and crew, and whatever there may be belonging to them ; they
will be exempted from all duties, and will be furnished with
the necessary license to continue their voyage without any other
detention.
30. The captor will have to pay the expences in cases of no:
tarious injustice in the detention.
