nation. The Defendantaare Prize Agents, and are
merely nominally concerned in this caufe for David
Wine, Efq. Commander of la Pique frigate. Is
this Ration Admiral Laforey had the chief authority ,
in March 1795 ; this Officer was fecceeded by Ad.
miral Sir Hugh' Chrinian, and in the month of Jane
in the fame year, by the prefent Plaintiff. A Mort
time pi for to this date, Captain Milne wai at Dema-
.rara, and not receiving any orders from the Officer
in Chief, probably on account of thefe changes, he
ventured to abandon his Ration, and to proceed to
St. Cluillopher's, to convoy the (hips of Demarara to.
the general rendezvous etlabliffied at that ifland.—.
When he arrived at St. Chrißopher's, by a (cries of
nat(sward accidents, he was (hit without orders : no
reffel of war appeared to convoy the 'kips for Eng-
land from this place of rendezvos the autumnal:
'Cation of hurticane was approechi!uig, and the molt
ferious apprehenflons were entertained for the pro.
perty in the pint of Baffeierre. In this predicamentk
Captain Milne took upon Wink, the serial-shaky,
and without orders, proceeded to England wish the.

he took two miles, the Oct proceeds of which
amounted to 42511. 4s. Bd.

eighths of the value. if in a tingle fhip ; bat if he be
under a ftmerior Officer in a fleet, to one-eighth out
of the three-eighths the foperior Officer is entitled.—
The Learned Conflict contended that Captain Milne
was fobjea to the orders of the Plaintiff, although;
by the accidents of the tea, he bad not received fuck
orders; and that however remote the fitustion in
'which the captures were made, the Plaintiff was en-
titled to the proportion of three-eighths lead in the
Proclamation.

the words of the Proclamation required that she
Commanding Officer could be climbing and aiding
in the capture ; Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Harvey
was neither doing the oar nor the other, and theie•
