Praxis Supreme Curiæ Admiralitatis.

THE Editor of this Journal has completed and will speedily publish a translation of the PRAXIS SUPREME CURIæ ADMIRALITATIS, written by Francis Clerke, who was registrar of the Court of Arches during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. This is almost the only work on the practice of the Admiralty Court, and is esteemed as unquestionable authority at the bar. A transla

tion of the third edition was published in the year 1722 « for the benefit and use of all such as are concerned in the admiralties of England, all masters of ships, mariners, and other seafaring persons." That edition was printed from a surreptitious copy Mr. Clerke's MS. and is both incorrect and incomplete. It was not until the year 1798 that justice was done to the author by the publication of a new edition, faithfully collated with two MS. copies in the handwriting of Dr. Wyseman and Dr. Lloyd. To this edition, which has been used in the present translation, many important notes are added, and the translator has taken the liberty of adding others, on the practice and jurisdiction of the District Court of the United States.

An appendix will also be given, which will contain a variety of such precedents as have been established in the English and American Courts of Admiralty Jurisdiction.

ABANDONMENT. Where there is a complete taking at sea by

a belligerent who has taken full possession of the ves-
sel as prize, and continues that possession to the
time of the abandonment, there exists a total loss.
The state of the loss at the time of the abandonment
must fix the right of the assured to recover.
A capture by one belligerent from another constitutes
a technical total loss, and gives an immediate right to
abandon, though the property may be afterwards re-
stored.

So too of an embargo or detention by a foreign friendly
power.

158

ib.

If the port to which the vessel is destined be actually
blockaded, the assured may abandon as for a total
loss.

144

The going to another port, after being warned away, for
the purpose of delivering the goods, does not destroy
the right to recover on the abandonment.
