From 8 U.S. 2 - Jennings v. Carson · 1807Most cited · 22 citing opinions
A belligerent cruizer who with probable cause seizes a neutral and takes her into port for adjudication, and proceeds regularly, is not a wrong doer. The act is not tortious. The order of restoration proves that the property was neutral, not that it was taken without probable cause.
