HIGu CoURT OF ADMIRALTY, May.25.
The Elsn .4nn, Freeman, master.---Lom
Stowell gave judgment in this case which was
an appeal from the Vice Admiralty Court of
jamaica. A vessel belonging to the United
States OF America with valuable cargo of flour
and corn, went to the port of st. Jago de Cuba,
when the cargo was transferred on board the
British ship Eliza Ann, which soon afterwards
arrived there, and sailed for Jamaica. The
question TO be decided was, whether this was TO
be considered auimportation from America, or
Spanish importation from Cuba; the Court at
jamaica had already decided that point against
the owners, but they had thought fit to appeal
to this Court. The act of the 58tt Of the late
King, cap. p. enumerated particular coinrno.
ditics that might be imported from America to
any Of the colonies in British slips, and it was
contrary to the fundamental policy of the act,
which was to preserve the navigation of the CO.
onies, that ship should go from America to an
island in foreign territory in the neighbour
hood of a British port, and then TO have her
cargo transferred TO another ship FOR the latter
port; it was an abuse of the statute. There
were many circumstances that led to a conciiI-
sion of the fraudulent intentions of the party
he comes to Cuba, and at the same time arrives
ship, put in through stress Of whether it is af-
hrmed from Jamaica; he wishes TO convey his
cargo to Jamaica, to make greater profit on
1t, and the vessel wants cargo for Jamaica; tho
cargo is therefore transferred to the British ship,
there being no proof of the payment of import
duties proof of transfercDce to any other
owners at Cuba these circumstances appeared
exceedingly suspicious, and induced the Court
to believe it was a collusve transaction, that
the American owners intended to send the car
go originally 10 jamaica, SO as to deprive the
British merchant of his fair proportion of COM
merce. This owner, (1Ir. ,Lowe) then leaves
his own vessel, enters on board the Eliza Ann,
in the alleged capacity of supercargo, the bils
of lading being in lis name as conscience, there
being. no other ostensible owner in The transac-
lion. 1t was also sworn by several persons that
Lowe had expressed himself frequently as the
owner.-After an investigation of all the cir !.
cumstances, Tie Court at Jamaica gave judg-
ment against the claimants, and upon full con-
sderat:on, his Lordshp thought TO grounds cx-
iste1 for altsrincr that Judgment.
