C 1

Offences against the external security of the State Ins

Piracy what and on that account were on that it to refuse doing
what was in it's power towards punishing the offence,
such refusal would probably be looked upon as an
act of hostility. When the offence being of the nature
of theft or robbery or devastation, is committed at sea,
or upon on the way any land to which the offender was
recently convey'd by Sea, whether that land be or be not
within the dominions of any state, the offence
is in most cases distinguished by the name of
Piracy.

Why the punishment of it is commonly understood to belong to any State. and In this regard to Piracy, in the supposition that the offence offence
defender would be equally committed to the prejudice
of any persons of what state soever they
were members on whom an opportunity of committing
depredation offer'd itself, the task of punishing
it is looked upon to belong to any nation state
that will take it up but more particularly to
the state of which the offender was a member.
But the name given to idea of this offence being taken from
a view not all the possible cases in which
an offence of the same nature might be committed,
but only of such in which it had been most
frequently committed, is far enough as yet from
being determinate. [a]
