HHODE-IVAND. DI3RICI\/r.
At a uiJirlS Court held at PrtmitLnce, wi:b
in etfiti for the dijlr'lß afore/aid, on the
frjt Monday of Nov. A. D. 1794, b.'brt
the. Hon. Henry Marcbant, EJq, judge of
Jaid Court.
Comes John Biptift- Bernarde, a citi
zen of the French Republic, and on the
libel of Thomas Jehnings, for himfelf &
JchD Vnn r, both of the Britilh pro
vince of New-Brunfwick, under which
rerti-n monies, now remaining in the
hands of William Peck, Esq. Marlhal ol
Cud Diflricl, being ihe proceeds of the
sales of th: brigantine Perseverance and
J', a'cargo, have been arretted by order or
ll,is court, and detained from the lawful
owners thereof; prays judgment, whether i
this honorable court will take any further
cognizance of tin said libel, and that
t: e.fame be difmiiTed.
occiufe he fays,
ill. That the legality of the capture of
the said brigantine Perseverance, and her I
cargo, has already been determined under
the authority of the United States, aid a
greeably to the praflice of nations, and in
a mode required at the special instance of
the libelants, by their public consul resi
dent here.
id. 3eoaufethe custody and pofieffion
of said brigantine Perseverance, and car
go, by the said W iltiam Peck, Marlhal as
aforefaid, were had in due couffe of law,
and not under the authority of this court,
aud therefore the disposal thereof is not
within they'urifdiiftion of this court.
3d. Because thelibellants have not com
plained in their said libel of the illegality
of thefale of said brigintine Perseverance,
and cargo, by said Peck, nor of any 'un
lawful interference on his part; and the
said sale being made on the land, and with
in the body of the county of Providence,
in open market, the Admiralty can have
no jurifdjetien.
4th. Because. if the libelants are entit
led to receive the said monies, proceeding
from the sales of said brigantine Perseve
rance and cargo they have a clear remedy
for the fame, at common law, in the Cir
cuit Court of the United States, under an
a lion of aflumpfit, for monies received
tr> use. *
?th. Bccaufe the said brigantine Perfe
t ante, and cargo, by the libellants own
wing, at the time of the alledged cap
-11 re thereof, were the property of fonle
• • the fubjedls of the King of Great Bri
a, and the fame were captured on the
high feis, and not within any of the wa
rs of the United States, and more than
11 marine league from any of the shores
• i;reof, bv the crew of the armed lchoo
ner Sans Pareille, belonging to citizens of
the French Republic, commanded by a
Vrench citizen, and manned with more
than two thirds of her crew by French
•amen and marines, and bearing a torn

the citizens of which weretl\en. and

of natifr.s, the court* of the Unitcc
States aanr.avi "o jurisdiction or aiithori

prize, between the citizens of the French
Republic and their public enemies, or to"

\ for >><■ rr-afons aforefaid, the said John

arifine from the falea thereof, in the hands
of William Peck, Jfq. Marshal of said

tion of this court thereon, and of the ar

of the cause, and not to the jurifdi<£lion of

offences, inasmuch at the people at large
are determined to support every descrip
