TEEM
The mixed courts of justice, to he estab
!lobed under the provisions of the treaty,
1 of which these regulations are declared to
I be an intregal part, shall be composed in
the following manner:
The two high contracting parties shall
each name a judge and an arbitrator, who
4hall be authorized to hear and to decide,
Without appeal, all cases of capture or de
tention of vessels which. in pursuance of
the stipulations of the aforesaid treaty,
s all be brought before them.
The judges and the arbitrators shall, he
r re they enter upon the duties of their
1
office, respectively make oath bolero the
principal magistrate of the place iu which
such courts shall respectively reside, that
they will base no preference either for
claimant or for captor; and that they will
act in all their decisions in pursuance of
the stipulations of the aforesaid treaty.
There shall be attached to each of such
courts a secretary or registrar, who shall
be appointed by the party in whosei terri
tories such court shall reside.
Such secretary or registrar shall register
all the acts of the court to which he is ap
pointed; and shall, before he enters upon
his office, make oath before the court that
he will conduct himself with due respect
for its authority, and will act with fidelity
and impartiality in all matters relating to
his office.
The salaries of the judges and arbitrators
shall be paid by the Governments by whom
they are appointed.
The salary of the secretary or registrar
of the court to be established in the terri
tories of the United States shall be paid by
the United States Government; and that of
the secretaries or registrars of the two
courts to be established in the territories
of Great Britain shall be paid by her
Britannic Majesty.
Each of the two Governments shall de
fray half of the aggregate amount of the
other expenses of such courts.
MIME!
The expenses incurred by the officer
charged with the reception, maintenance,
and care of the detained vessel, negroes,
and cargo, and with the execution of the
sentence, and all disbursements occasioned
by bringing a vessel to adjudication, shall,
in case of condemnation, be defrayed from
the funds arising out of the sale of the
materials of the vessel, after the vessel
shall have been broken up, of the ship's
stores, and of such parts of the cargo as
shall consist of merchandise. And in case
the proceeds arising out of this sale should
not prove sufficient to defray such ex
penses, the deficiency shall be made good
by the Government of the country within
whose territories' the adjudication shall
have taken place.
It the detained vessel shall be released,
the expenses occasioned by bringing her
to adjudication shall be defrayed by the
`captor, except in the cases specified and
otherwise provided for under article seven
of the treaty to which the regulations
form an annex, and under article seven of
these regulations.
The mixed courts of justice are to decide
upon the legality of the detention of such
vessels as the cruisers - of either nation shall
detain in pursuance of the said treaty.
The said courts shall adjudge definitely,
and without appeal, all questions which
shall arise out of the capture and detention
of such vessels.
The proceedings of the courts shall take
place as summarily as possible and for
this purpose the courts are required to de
cide each case, as far es may be practicable,
within the space of twenty days, to be
dated from the day on which the detained
vessel shall have been brought into the port
where the deciding court shall reside.
The final sentence shall not, in any case,
be delayed beyond the period of two menthe,
either on account of absence of witnesses,
or for any other cause, except upon the
application of any of the parties interested ;
but in that case, upon such party or par
ties giving satisfactory security that they
will take upon theixiselves the expense and
risks of the delay, the courts may, at their
discretion, grant an additional delay, not
exceeding four months.
Either party shall be allowed to employ
such counsel as he may think fit, to assist
him in the conduct of his cause.
All the acts and essential parts of the
proceedings of the said courts shall be
committed to writing and be placed upon
record.
ITEM
The form of the piocess, or mode of pro
ceeding to judgment, shall be as follows :
The judges appointed by the two Govern
ments, respectively, shall, in the first place,
proceed to examine the papers of the de
tained vessel, and shall take the deposition
of the muter or commander, and of two
or three at least of the principal individu
als on board of such vessel; and shall
also take the declaration or oath of the
captor, if it should appear to them neees
eery to do so, in order to judge and to pro
nounce whether the said vessel has been
justly detained or not, according to the
stipulations of the aforesaid. treaty, and
and in order thit, according to such judg
ment, the vessel may be condemned or re
leased.
In the event of the two judges not agree
ing as to their sentence which they ought
to pronounce in any case brought before
them, whether with respect to the legality
of detention, or the liability of the vessel
to condemnation, or as to the indemnifica
tion to be allowed, or ae to any ottier ques
tion which may ;rise out of the said cap
ture ; or in case any differelipe of opinion
should arise between them as to the mode
of proceeding in the said court they shall
draw by lot the name of one of the two
arbitrators so appointed as aforesaid, which
arbitrator, after having considered the pro-
ceedings which have taken place, shall
consult with the two jndges on the case;
and the final sentence or decision shall be
pronounced conformably to the opinion of
the majority of the three.
tramma
If the detained vessel shall be restored
by sentence of the court, the vessel and
the cargo, in the state in which they 030
' then be found, with the exception of the
negroee found on board, if.euch nogroes
shall have been previously disembarked
under the provisions of articles fourth and
fifth of the instructions annexed to the
treaty of this date,) shall forthwith bo
given up to tho master, or the person who

self and, in hie default, his Governiennit
shall remain responsible for the damages
to which the master of such vessel, or the
ownera either of. the vessel or of her cargo,
may be - pronounced to be entitled.

themselves to pay, within the term of n
year from the date. of the sentence, the
costs and damages which may be awarded
by the court; it being mutually agreed

change current at the time of the award.
The two high contracting parties, how

to the satisfaction of the judges of the two
nations, and without having recourse to
the decision of an arbitrator, that the cap
tor has been led into error by the fault of
the noisier or commander of the detained
vessel, the detained vessel in that case
