On the 14th of May, 1854, a neutral vessel, under Danish colours, sailed from Copenhagen for Eiga, and was captured off Eiga bj- an English ship of war on the 22nd ol that month, for a breach of the blockade of that port. Held : — First, that the vessel was improperly seized, as there was no legal blockade at the time of the seizure. Second, that as the Order in Council must be taken to have extended to British and French shijis, and as it relaxed the blockade in favour of the belligerents to t...he exclusion of neutrals, the blockade was illegal. Third, that assuming the blockade to be legal, yet the master of the ship must be fixed with personal knowledge of all that was publicly known at Copenhagen on the 14th of May, and that as the general notoriety, so far as it existed at that time and place, was that all tho Eussian ports in the Baltic were blockaded, which was not tho fact, tho notice, therefore, of the blockade being more extensive than the blockade itself, it was of no effect against a neutral.
