§. How it came to pass that in the Prize Court a man was not
allowed the choice of his own Court Agents.

That in this case for the prosecution of a claim exclusively his own
a man should not be permitted to choose allowed the choice of his own agents
is a sort of mystery riddle the solution of which, though
it lies not at any great depth below the surface, seems
not to have been, on any occasion as yet, brought out
as yet to public view.

Along with so many other good things, all the land in the country
among the rich.

The produce of captured vessels belonged originally had been given by
and in Common Law that is by the Kings Agents in the character of
Judges to the King. By the Statute law+ + 6 Ann. C. 13
13 G. 2. C. 4. §. 1., it was at a comparatively
recent period, bestowed granted away upon the Captors.

While the King's was the pocket into which the
profit, if any was to find its way, the King's was
of course the hand, by which the persons by whom the
agents in for the prosecution of claim to it such claims as came to be made
prosecution of the claim to it was to be conducted, were
appointed. When from the pocket of the King those eventual profits
were as above transferred into the pockets of individuals
viz. the captors, the hands of the captors were the hands by which
the persons agents for the prosecution of the claim to it
should naturally have been appointed.

But at the time when this transference was first
made, the King's Proctor and the King's Advocate
were already, in virtue of their respective offices in possession of the profits resulting from
their respective shares in the prosecution of those claims.
Those profits, so long as it unless compelled by law
they of course would refuse to part not think of parting with: as little would
it soever to them their care would naturally be committed the
charge of finding penmanship for task of penning the law by which the transference was to be
made: ousting themselves of those or any other profits was a
species of suicide not to be expected explicable with any colour of reason
from there or any other
precedent ordinarily hands.
