ton, as settled by national law. Probably
1t depends altogether upon circumstances,
or rather upon power. IF a gross outrage
upon our rights should be perpetrated at the
distance OF league and quarter from our
shores, we should be as anxious to punish
it as If it were. committed within the sacred
limit OF league only. For revenue pur-
poses, the laws of the United States, ilni-
tating those of Great Britain, assume this
jurisdiction to the extent Of four leagues.
The best established rule upon this sub
Ject, gives the exclusive Jurisdiction, .for
all purposes, to the distance which cannon
shot will reach, which is much less than a
marine league. Bynkershoek, in his Dis
sertations, Chap. 2, says, that SO much Of
the sea may be thought to belong to the
land, as can be defended by our arms, id
CSC, according as we express it, SO tar as is
within cannot shot. He cites an order
which TIE States General of the United
Proviaces gaves the captains of their men
Of war in 1911, to salute as they passed the
coasts of any foreign prince, as soon DIS
they were within cannon shot of the places
Of that country.

THE MARINE LEAGUE.

In the debate upon the additional Navy
Bill, much has been said OF the marine
league, or that portion Of the sea, washing
the shores of nation, over. which the ma
tion has right to exercise exclusive Juris-
diction. Mr.. Key appropriately terms IT a
belt OF i,apiolabiAty, and declares that we
ought to sustain our right to it at every ha-
gard. Undoubtedly we ought, and it IS
certain that we cannot do even this without
a naval force of some responsibility. It IS
questionable, however, whether marine
league is exactly the extent Of this jurisdle-
