A Manual of Naval Prize Law: Founded Upon the Manual Prepared in 1866 by Godfrey Lushington (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Manual of Naval Prize Law: Founded Upon the Manual Prepared in 1866 by Godfrey Lushington

The Manual now issued embodies as much as possible of the valuable materials first collected by Mr. Lushington, but the text has been largely rewritten, and the whole has been arranged upon a new method.

It has been assumed that the attention of Commanders of Cruisers will be directed, in the first instance to the Nationality of the Vessel visited. The causes which may lead to her detention have accordingly been classified with reference to this characteristic. It will, however, be observed that in many cases when a Commander is in doubt as to the true Nationality of a Vessel, he will be relieved of the necessity of further enquiry on this point, by discovering she is engaged in a trade which is sufficient of itself to justify her detention.
