COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(SITTINOS IN BANCO.)
COLLTYB. V. WILLOCK.
In this case, which was tried before the LOAD CHIO.
JUSTICE in this Court, and a verdict returned for the
plaintiff, with 101. damages, Mr. Sergeant WILDS nos°
moved to set aside the verdict and to enter a nonsuit.o--
Rule granted.

HIGH COURT OF. ADMIRALTY.
CAPTURE OF JAVA.
This was a case of prize-money, which was fully sera4
in another Term.
The Cover now proceeded to deliver its judgment, The
question arose out of a difference as to the manner in whieb
the booty was distributed that had been captured by _i_
naval and military forces engaged in the capture of Java,
under Admiral Stopford and General Auchmuty. The Pr
perty was properly collected and realised, and the proceeo
transmitted to England. Two distributions were made'
according to a rule acted upon for many years, to the effect
that the agents of the two .servieee should receive in pro'
portion to the relative numbers employed in the enterpriee'
In the present instance, the military force engaged was the
largest, and, according to the old rule, the army agents re'
ceived the largest proportion of the prize money. When
the third distribution came to be made, however, the cOO
mercial house in possession of the property divided it by Aiwa:
rule, under the sanction ofLord Ell en borough's -
was, that whatever may be the diversity of numbers of each rr
vice engaged in an expedition,the booty should be equallyci
tributed. That opinion was acted upon by this Court IP
a question arising upon the booty captured at Tsxrag°3,al
but the Court expressly observed, when laying down
ie
rule in that case, that it desired to be nuderstooll as pro-
tecting itself against ripping up former distributions, under
the old rule. Notwithstanding that declaration, however,
Mr. England, the agent for the naval forces engaged in the
capture of Java, now called upon the Court to say whether
justice would be done to the navy, if he did not receive a
proportion, equivalent to that received by the other party'
The Court, however, considered that it was bound t°
adhere to the caution previously expressed, and not to ri?
up former distributions. It therefore dismissed the appli-
cation, but without costs, as it was a very proper question
for the opinion of the Court.
