""Notes on the Principles and Practice of Prize Courts"" is a legal treatise written by Joseph Story in 1854. The book examines the legal principles and practices of prize courts, which are courts that adjudicate matters related to the capture of enemy ships and cargo during wartime. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the history and jurisdiction of prize courts, as well as the legal principles that govern their decisions. The second part focuses on the practical aspects of prize court proceedings, including the rules of evidence, the role of expert witnesses, and the procedures for the condemnation and sale of captured property. Throughout the book, Story draws on his extensive knowledge of maritime law and his experience as a judge on the United States Supreme Court to provide a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of prize court proceedings. The book is an important resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and historians interested in the history of international law and the conduct of warfare at sea.""With A Selection Of Documents And Forms As Used In The High Court Of Admiralty Of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
