CAPTURS OP JAVA.

.S!-•.1 I

This was a case of prise-money, which was fully andellip it
met Term.
' • `i
The COUST now proceeded to deliver its judgment. Theque4tlspi
arose oat of h difference as en the mender in which• the belay was
distributed that had been captured by the navalaand military forces
engaged in the conquestiofitae Isle of Java. ,under. Admiral Stopfotd
andOon. Aohmuty. Thz property,it appeared, was properly collected
and realisid, and the proceeds transmitted to itsigland. Two flistribn.
dons were made according to a rule which bad been acted upon fur
many .years, and awhiclswas toshe effect, Usat`the agents of the two
services should receive in proportion to therelaeive.numbersentploy-
ed in the, expedition, lit .tbe present ease the military force
engaged was the greatest, and the army agent received the largest
proportion of the prise money. When the third distribution came
to be made, however, the commercial house in possession of the
property divi!ed-it by a new rule under the sanction of 'Lord.
Etlenborough's opinion, which was, that whatever may be•the diver-
sity.of numbers of each service engaged In the enterprise; the booty
should be eAttally ilistribtited. That opinion was acted upon by this
Court in a questiou arisingaspon the booty captured at Tarragona ;
but, the Coon eopreislywhiprved, when layiug deem the rule in
that case,that it desired to be understood as protecting itself against
ripping up former distributions, which had taken place untilr the
old rule. • Newittoranding that declaration, however, Wr. Ens.
land, the agent of the naval. forces engaged in the expedition' now
called upon. the Court to say, whether Justice would be done
to the navy, if he did not receive a ptoportion equivalent to that
received by the other party in the two first distributions?—
The Court considered it-elf bound to adhere to the catidOn pre-
viously expressed, and not to rip up former distributions. The two •
distributions wade under the old rule meat be considered former
distributions. They wete made long antecedent to the new rule,
sad when made were universally approved of arid acquiesced fir
by the parries In d. A long time had elapsed; and many
questions *etre generated between the two first distributions aid
theism The two first distributions were properly made, and
thongia a new rule bad been laid down upon more mature 4:0111i.;
deratfon, that was as after thought, and could not affect former'
theisacifoni. Ist tobrt, under all the circumstances, did not
think It imperative to disturb the former distributions, and there-
fore dismissed the application made by the Agent for the Navy ;
but dismissed the case without coats, as it was a very proper gets-'
tines for the opinion of the Court.
