Opinion
. The Court stated, that it did not recognise the existence of any Court of Admiralty sitting at Gal-veztown, with authority to adjudicate on captures, nor had, the Government of the United States hitherto acknowledged the existence of any Mexican .republic or state at war with Spain ; so that the Court could not consider as legal, any acts done under the *194 flag and commission of such republic or state. But, as the record, in this case, stated the capture to have been made under the flag of Buenos Ayres, it became necessary to send back the case, in order to ascertain under what authority it was in fact made.
Sentence reversed, and cause remanded for further proceedings.
