What are Letters of Marauei

Letters Of Marque are extraordinary
commissions granted by public authority to
owners ola vessel, aulhorising such vessel 10
make capture and prize ofthe persons, ships
nd properly of the subjects Of another M.
ton which has committed injuries, bnt neg
'"cts or refuses to give proper redress
hereior. The vessel itself which bears
such commission, is sometimes called Let
ter OF Marque.
The term margue is derived from the
Anglo Saxon meare, bound or boundary.
Letters Of marque and reprisal, as they are
more fully termed, signify literal, therefore
commissions anrhorising the passing Of the
frontiers or boundary, for the purpose Of la
king in return.
In their origin they had reference to spe-
ltic injnries,in capturing defining or with.
loIding The property Of individuals in time
Of peace, and issued only 10 the party injur-
ed or his agents. Their issue was not re-
!arded as declaration of war, though for
nal hostilities might be the ultimate result.
Some consider them IA species of hostility,
Al imperfect war;" but strictly, they are
not "breach oIthe peace" between nations:
though a forcible redress Of injury is con-
'emplated. The force may not unaptly be
| likened 20 a distress for rent, which in a
measure, is remedy placed in the hands OF
the injured pariy-the landlord himself.
tits unnecessary to trace the modifca-
ton, and regulations to which letters Of
marque have been subjected IRON their or.
igin to the present day. Reprisals between
nation and nation, as one means O. obtain.
ing justice, are OF very ancient origin, and
have their foundation in the nature Of the
relations OF different powers. Though moi
N frequent occurrence now, yet as late n,
1884 President jackson in his annual mes
sage. suggested the pr"priety Of resor'inl
10 this method of obtaining satisfaction o
our claims against France.
In the United States the power Of gran
ting letters of marque and reprisal, is yes
ted by the Constitution, in Congress. Ii
the war of 1912, this power was exercised
in the act OF June IS, 1912, declaring war
provision made for the guidance and regu
lation of parties applying for such commits
siCns, and of vessels sailing under them, b
the acts Of June 26, 1912, and January n
1873. These acts were temporary in thei
design, and are now obsolete Special leg

occasion which called Tor renewed exer

II would be violation OF the Neulralh
Act of April 20, 1918, for any America
vessel TO be commissioned as a letter {

against nation with whom we are AT peac
