Chancellor ken,s opinion on the jurisdic-
ton of the civil tribunals IN the case OF Com
mander Mackenzie, is given at length in the
New YoIk papers.
He says most decidedly that he considers
tina, crimes and offences committed on the
high seas by person 10 the actual service Of
the United States. on board one OF their vessels
Of war, and duly commissioned and claiming
10 &C, under that authority. are not cognizable
under the jurisdiction OF the Courts Of the Uni
ted States. The fitting peculiar cognisance of
such crines and offences 10 in the Naval
Courts Martial. Instituted under the &C, of
Congress. Of April I'd, 1900, which created =
Naval code et Marital Law. for tho trial aud
punishment Of crimes aud offences committed
in the Naval service of the United States.
II has been from the beginning an adjnei-
csied ard settled principle in the Jurisprudence
Of the United States. that the Federal Courts
have no criminal jurisdiction but what is ex-
pressly conferred upon them by acts Of
Congress. Now there is no statute any where
giving express jurisdiction to the civil Courts
Of the United States over crimes at sea in the
United States.
In regard to the concurrent Jurisdiction.
Which Judge DEUS teh w oeso' =" NV uSV'S-
ion, he says:
Blu, il the federal civil courts be admitted to
have eoncurren, jurisdiction in the case Of such
officers. yet they lose that jurisdiction. Il
Naval Cour, Martial had previously taken
cognissnee Of the charge. In the case Of con-
curren, jurisdiction under the same Govern
mrni. Jurisdiction attaches exclusively to the
one that FIRST assumes cognisance of the case
for no man eau be uled al the same time IN
two Jurisdictions.
The opinion concludes IS follows
In my opinion. therefore, in either point Of
view ofihe question stated. the Circuit Court
Of the United States for New York. csnno,
lawfully. nor without great injury and iniUs,
ice take cognisance Of the case stated.
