Decr 1810
Prize Acts 1805 1809
§. 68 Section 68. As if the causes of delay were not yet powerful enough, Here under the mask of regularity
is comes another retardative.
"Prize Agent" (says the Section) "shall, ten days before
he exhibits his Account of Sales in the Registry of the
High Court of Admiralty, cause Advertisements to be herein
inserted in the London Gazette, notifying to all persons
concerned that the Account of Sales of such Prize or Prizes
will be brought into the Registry of the said Court".
He shall cause these advertisements to be herein inserted
ten so many days before he exhibits his account .... In other
words – in plain English he shall not exhibit these
Accounts till ten days after the last time of the insertion
of this advertisement: in a newspaper which comes
out but twice a week and in which the insertion may
be delayed, it is difficult to say how long, by causes
the blame of which howsoever due would not could scarcely
be fixt upon him to any practical good effect.
