,,..l Power, of having complained 100
';.,iy of a proceeding 80 injurious to Its
4.;ty and its rights. In order the better
o's1,.hlish the accord between all nations
VI .II leyists on this question, we may
a,. the authority Of an American states
qu The following is the opinion pro-
n""nced by Mr.. Henry Wheat"n: ,
.s'ihr riyhts of war cannot he exercised
,.rt within the territory Of the he lIg-
s.snt movers, or out at sea, or within II
.a.r;,,rv having no owner. 1t follows that
sn,,;I;tie, cannot he fairly exercised with
~ ,hr territorial jurisdiction of the neu-
...l state. which is the common friend of
,he two parties. Not only are all captures
,nade by beligerent cruisers within that
;"r;sdiction illegal and null, hut the cap
lures made by ships of war, which place
themselves within bays, rivers, at the
,nouth of rivers, or in the harbors OF II
neutral State, to exercise the rights OF war
trn,n that station are likewise nu L.
Eor example, when British privateer
.,ationed herself in the river Mississippi,
in the neutral territory OF the United
States, to exercise the rights OF war from
that point, by going and coming ny oh-
tanning information at belize, ana ny
ssarching ships which were descending
the river-when this prlvateer, we repeat,
effected Il capture at about three English
miles from the is ands Of sand ut the mouth
of the Mississippi, Sir w. Scott ordered
the restitution of the captured ship. On
the same principle, when be'l'gereht
ship, being within neutral territory,
effects capture with her boat outside OF
that territory, the capture Is considered
null. For, although the -nemy's force
was employed against the vesse captured
without the territory, no one can be per-
u,;t,ed TO make such use of neutral ter
r,torv in order to carry on war" The
Anna. November, 1905, RohinSon's I'D
niraliy Reports vol. 5, page S7o)
"If every act of hostility against de-
rlnred enemy within the terr'torla' JurIs-
dict,ou of Il neutral State, which ID on
terms of friendship with the two parties,
he di,loyal- if captures effected by bellig-
aren't cruisers within the bags OF the
neutral State, or even by the boa;s OF ships
without the territory, viii at the ships re-
main within it, are null and illegal accord
iny 10 the law of the United States, and
according to the derrees OF the maritime
tribunals of Great Britain, the attack ct Il
ship be longing to IA frlend y Power ia
neutral port would merit to be still more
stigmatized."
