Months had now been consumed in endeavours on the part of the Administration to give annoyance to me and on the part of the prize tribunal to condemn me in costs for making lawful captures, this appearing to form their only object; save when a prize vessel could be given up to a claimant or pretended claimant, in outrage of justice, as evinced in the case of the Pombinho's cargo, and numerous other instances.
The fact was, as proved in these pages beyond contradiction, that they were given back by the Portuguese members of the Prize Tribunal to their own friends and relations this alone constituting the illegality of the captures. Some as in the case of the Pombinho's cargo were given up to persons who had not the shadow of a claim upon them. The squadron never received a shilling on their account.
