facts truly, it is difficult to see how a
cause of complaint can arise. If bel
ligerent may come to this country and
buy munitions of war it seems clear that
he may export them as freight in private
merchant vessels of his own or any other
nation. as cargo could be exported by
the general public.
mo precedent has been cited to the
court which in it's opinion could even re-
motely sustain the cause of the com
plainants The three compliments are
private citizens; it is true that the COM
plainant Pierce ayers that he is consul
general of the Orange Free States; but
his demand is exclusively personal one
and he must be deemed to be suing in his
personal capacity. They own property in
the South African Republic and the
Orange Free State. They fear that the
war, if continued, will result in the de-
strction of their property. They believe
that if the shipments of mules and horses
from this port are stopped the war will
cease; they claim that by virtue of a
declaration of International law contained
in an international treaty to which the
foreign countries in which their property
is situated were not parties, they have
the personal right to enjoin the shipments
for the purpose of stopping the war and
thus saving their property from the de-
struction which they apprehend will re-
suit to it from a continuation of the war.
When complainants cause is thus an
aIyzed and the nature of the alleged right
under the treaty is considered, it is OBJ
vious that the court of equity cannot take
cognizaRce Of the cause.
Il am clearly of the opinion that this
cause is not within the cognizance of
this court and for that reason the rule
must be denied.

tinues:
IF the complainants could be heard ia
assert here rights personal to themselves
in the treaty invaded, and if the mules
and horses involved in this cause are
munitions of war, all of which is dis
puted by the defendants, would become
necessary to determine whether the Uni
ted States intended by the declaration OF
the treaty (of Washington, May Sth, 1871
to subvert the well established principle
OF international law that the private citi-
zens of neutral nation can lawfully sell
supplies tc belligerents.
ct is almost impossible to suppose a
prori that the United States have done
so and would have thus provided for the
most serious and extensive derngement
of the injury TO the commerce of our
citizens, whenever two or more foreign
nations should go to war; and it would
seem that there is nothing in the treaty,
especially when its history and purposes
are considered, which would warrant the
belief that the United States insisted up
on inserting therein a new principle of
international law from which the greatest
damage might result to the commerce of
this country and which was absolutely
different from and antagonistic to the
rule and policy which the Government of
this country has heretofore strenuously
and invariably followed
"The principle that neutral citizens
may lawfully sell to belligerents has
long since been settled in this country
by the highest judicial authority
