BRITISH JUSTICE.
GERMAN SHIPPPING COMPPANY PROTECTED.
LONDON, February 5
The Judical Committee of the Privy Council allowed the 'HamburgAmerika line’s appeal against the Prize Court judgment confiscating two liners seized at Falmouth in 1915. The Court based its judgment on the Hague Convention. It held that the circumstances attending the seizure were such that the vessels were only liable to detention during the war. The effect of the judgment is to reserve all rights for decision till the war concludes, and the German Government’s views regarding the construction of the convention are ascertainable.
