Prize COURT CARGOfS
GREATLY EXAGGERATED
Treasury Presents Figures to Parlia-
ment-Up to March, Condemned
Freight Brought many Pounds.

London. April THE estimate of
fS0.O0o,000 worth of cargoes con-
demned by prize courts is shown to be
greatly exaggerated by returns Just
completed by the treasury for the
consideration of parliament.
Figures in the returns, which in
clude only courts in the United King
dom up to the end of March, show
that condemned cargoes brought a
total of f4S5.677, while proceeds from
cargoes Of freight uncondemned and
still awaiting adjudication and release
represent total Of f2,112.287. Much
of this. according to the returns. rep
resents perishable cargoes, which had
to be sold and, therefore, large pro-
portion of this sum may yet reach the
original owners.
1t is expected that the figures in the
returns may show a considerable in
crease when reports are received from
colonial prize courts. especially those
from Alexandria. where many Ger
man ships have been condemned.
There is not the remotest possibility,
however, that the grand total will
reach the estimate Of f30,0OO,OO0.
