Sol, 'with a cargo, captured by the French upon the
'tzth. of July, 5796, and re-captured on the 15 rh of
July, by one of His tiLijesty's Ships, and carried in-
to Gibraltar, where the-'shtp and cargo was TO
ceecled aeinSt ; .ana the question, in thissase, was,
whether this ship, being in possession of the enemy
twenty-four hours, was not to be considered as a
good and lawful prize to the Captors, or whether
the Claimants were not entitled to this property, ,
upon the payment of Salvage.
it was contended on the part of the Captors', that
twenty hours possession by. the Ererny did amount
to a conversion of the property, and' that. this ques-
tion did arise in the case of the Santa Cruz, in which
case the Court condemned the property as good and
lawful prize.
The Court, after hearing the Counsel on behalf of
the Claimants, restored the ship and citrgo on the
payment of one-eighth salvage.

Amongst other reforms and retrenchments of ex.
penditure, the Earl of St. Vracitt-r, it it,
it in contemplation, to abolish the present allowance
to Pursers in the navy, and to. give them an in.
crease of pay in lieu of such allowance.
