tertAined upon the ground that the seizure Of

was the vessel ought 10 be given up 10 her
owners. Richie asked the Judge 10 contemp-
late the probability Of an application Of the
Confederates for her. His Honor declared he
would not entertain anything of the kind.
Richie then gave his Interpretation OF the law
upon the validity Of the seizure, contendIng
that any citizen of the Southern Confederacy,
with or without a commission, has an absolute
right TO seize any vessel belonging TO the Fe-
derals, and II would be lawful process. The
Advocate General said that he felt some dlfl-
Guilty in bringing the case into this court, as
there was q pretence Of her being q lawful
prize, but there was priptd taeie evidence that
the capture was piracy. His opinion was that
the vessel should be delivered over 10 her own.
