Oonsistent herewith as the arbitrators
shall determine applicable to the case :
Whereas, The due diligence referred
to In the first and third of said rules
should be exercised by neutral gov
ernments in exact proportion to the
risks to which either one of the bclli-
gerents may be exposed by q failure to
fhlflll the obligations Of neutrality on
their part: 4

OF the present controversy arose, were
Of o nature to call for the exercise on
the part of her majesty's government
of all possible solicitude for the obser-
vance Of the rights and duties involv-
ed in her majesty's proclamation Of
Neutrality, issued on the 18th day Of
May, the year of our H0rd ,one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-one. The eff
fects of the violation of neutrality COM
mitted by means of the construction,
equipment and armament of vessel,
are not done away with by any COM
mission which the government of .
belligerent power benefted by a viola
tion Of neutrality may afterward grant
that vessel, the ultimate step by which
the otEence IL completed cannot be adj
mittedas ground for absolutlon of the
offender, nor can the consummation Of
his fraud become the means of estab-
fishing hie innocence.
