[Opinions of Sir Alexander Cockburn.]
The indirect claims at first insisted on by the Government of the United States being now out of the question, we have to deal with the claims for damages, “growing out of the acts” of certain specified vessels, as to which it is alleged that, by reason of some default on the part of the government of Her Majesty the Queen of England, these vessels were enabled to take and destroy ships and cargoes belonging to citizens of the United States. Causes of complaint brought forward by the United States.
The causes of complaint put forward by the United States Govern-ernment may be classed under the following heads:
- 1.
- That by reason of want of due diligence on the part of the British government, vessels were allowed to be fitted out and equipped, in ports of the United Kingdom, in order to their being employed in making war against the United States, and, having been so equipped, were allowed to quit such ports for that purpose.
- 2.
- That vessels fitted out and equipped for the before-mentioned purpose, in contravention of the foreign-enlistment act, and being therefore liable to seizure under that act, having gone forth from British ports, but having afterward returned to them, were not seized as they ought to have been, but, having been allowed hospitality in such ports, were suffered to go forth again, to resume their warfare against the commerce of the United States.
- 3.
- That undue favor was shown in British ports to ships of war of the Confederate States in respect of the time these ships were permitted to remain in such ports, or of the amount of coal with which they were permitted to be supplied.
- 4.
- That vessels of the Confederate States were allowed to make British ports the base of naval operations against the ships and commerce of the United States.
Owing to all or some one or other of these causes, vessels of the Confederate States were enabled, it is alleged, to do damage to the commerce of the United States
