Adjudication Jurisdiction Question on St Eustatius Capture
Lord Mansfeld delivers the unanimous ruling for the Court of King's Bench that prize jurisdiction remains with the Admiralty Court for captures made during hostilities, even when land seizure follows a surrender to naval forces. The decision rejects a prohibition to stay Admiralty proceedings and affirms the long‑standing prize court authority, tracing origins to Elizabethan to Hanoverian statutes and precedent.
