Supreme Court Decision.
The Supreme Court of the United States has
delivered an opinion in the case of the late ship
! Admiral, British vessel, with cargo of salt
and coal, which was captured by the Alabama
| in December, 1861, about thirty miles of Tybee
| Island, while standing in for the port Of Savan
| nah, and was taken to Philadelphia, and waQ
there libellcd as prize.
The Government asserts that the vessel is
| liable to condemnation under the rule of the
Flaw of PRICE which prohibits neutral vessel
having knowledge Of the blockade of g
| particular port, from sailing upon desti
nation to that port with the intention o.
inquiring at tie station of blockade relative
| to the continuance thereof and that such ycsse
taken upon a voyage prosecuted with that in
tent will be presumed in prize court to have
intended to violate the blockade, and that the
| vessel should be condemned because there was
a suppression in the clearance taken at Liver
pool of the actual primary destination of the
ship, and, taken in connectionJwith her near ap
| proach when captured, to the blockaded
| portof Savannah and the circumstances attend
ing her attempt to enter that port affords con
elusive, evidence of q premeditated and fraudu
lent intention 10 break the blockade. And thu
claimants had notice of the blockade before sail
ing, and required no further notice from blockad
ing vessels that the blockade still existed at tn,
time of the arrival of the ADMIRAL
The.supreme Court has affirmed the decree o.
condemnation, sustaining theipositiOn taker b,
the Government. ar t-f -t5 a;.t O.. 'l'
