COURT OF EXCIIEQUER, Nov. 19.
Sir JAMBS MANsIitELD and the other Judges at.
tended the. Barons in the Ezelieluer Chamber, where
a special case •was argued. The question for the
opinion of the Judges was, whether a mariner,
named Pille, the mate of a revenue cutter, was iv.
titled toe shire of prize-mommy, as Captain, while he
was appointed to commend the cutter by the Corn.
rnissioners of the Customs tingle Captain was sent on
board. It appeared that Mr. Pale took a prize, but
during the time he, was •commanding the vessel he
was apppointed mate; and it was ontendul, that
be had no right to a Captain's shacre, because be
wasnot considered a Captain under a King's war-
rant. The arguments in support of his claim were,
that ho was the person who had perforated the set-
ilcerand ceasequently bad a right to his share of
the capture. The Court did net give judgment.
