mander, when [leering near the mouth of the hat-
boor of Toulon, and carried into the port of Leg-
horn.- It aplAared that the (hip was rellored; and
the firft quettion before the Court was With- refpeet
to the quality of the cargo, and the' fecond, whe-
ther the veffel was adually going into the enemy's
port at the time of the feizure I It was fubmitted
on the part of the captors, that there was ?to doubt
but that Toulon was the real dellination, in order'
to fupply the enemy with this timber for fhip build-
ing. On the pact of the claimants, it was fub-
mated, that the identity of the timber was not
traced ; that there was not toffltient ptoof of what
was the nature of, the cargo, fo as to bring it within
the defcriptiun of (hip timber.
The Court Paid, it thought itfelf at liberty to
pronounceifrom the evidence produced by the cap•
tors, which was not controverted, that this was a
cargo of timber fit for the building of (hips ; and
as to the real deltination, the Court was fully fa•
tisfied that it was the intention of this fltip to go
into the port of Toulon, which (be had no right
whatever, under the Danith treaty, therefore con-
demned the cargo:

from Rotterdam, oflenfibly to Lifbon, but really
to a port in Spain; but it appearing that the proof
was infufficient, the Court ordered further proof
to be produced.
