Prize money in a contested 1781 Cape voyage case
Law case reports the Writ of Error from a decision of the Court of Common Pleas in a prohibition matter. It covers the 1781 Cape of Good Hope expedition by Commodore Johnstone and General Medows, the Prize Court’s ruling, the Lords Commissioners’ view, and the subsequent arguments by Serjeants Rooke and Lawrence. The opinion discusses whether the Prize Act vested prize money in captors or the Crown, and whether a Monition to bring proceeds into court was proper.

The jury hears how goods were confused and the sheriffs argued a quarter’s rent had been paid. Lord Kenyon notes the case hinges on historic distain rules and levy procedures and the sheriff’s duty to cover due rent.
