ing the captor's expenses. The Judge, Sir
William Scott, would not consider the pov-
age from BGfaUia to Phiiodeihhia connec-
ted yoim the ontgudrd one fran, amsterdam,
and the whole question with the court was
respecting the property; and though there
was in his opinion strong evidence OF its
true nature, yet as the persons from whom
this evidence was received, had been cuea-
ged in colorado transaction (alluding to
clearing out for Tranqucbar) in former
part of the business, he did not consider it
improper to refer the case for the further
proof, if wished for by the captors With
respect to that part of the cargo shipped on
account Of the George, ne ordered immc-
diate restitution Upon this the Kings adj
vocate offered to restore ship and cargo on
paying the capt0rs expenses, which the
court agreed TO, and restitution was order
