Saturday, January 2, 1847.. *The following are the Names of the Gentlemen who favour THE JURIST with Reports of Cases argued and decided in the several Courts of Law and Equity: THE recent seizure at Gravesend of The Glenelg and of two war steam-vessels, and the proceedings which have been taken against the principal parties connected with their equipment, on the ground of their having contravened the Foreign Enlistment Act, (59 Geo. 3, c. 69), render this a fitting opportunity for some remarks upon the subject. This is, we believe, the first instance in which the provisions of the statute have been put into operation, and it involves questions of considerable importance in reference to the relations between this and foreign governments. The facts of the case are, we believe, these. In the month of November last the government received intelligence that several vessels had been purchased, and that a number of persons had been inrolled in the service of General Flores, for the purpose of making an hostile expedition to the Ecuador. Measures were imdiately adopted to stop the intended voyage; the ships were seized as forfeitures to the Crown by officers of the Customs; and prosecutions are now pending against several parties, who are charged with having acted in the matter. We shall, of course, in referring to a case still sub judice, avoid remarks applicable to the particular facts, and confine ourselves to a mere general statement of the law upon this subject. It is one of the essential prerogatives of the ruling power of any state, that it should possess a control over its own subjects in relation to their dealings with foreign governments. Were it not so, innumerable questions would arise, dangerous to the peace and welfare of kingdoms. The private rights of an individual member of society and the public rights of a state, the combined form of the members of society,-are clearly distinct in their character, and should be preserved each in their integrity. VOL. X. Ꮓ Ꮓ The preservation of peace and the due separation of.. power form undoubtedly the grounds on which the state exercises its interfence in this respect; but obvious.. arguments occur in addition for the assertion of this right. It frustrates many of the schemes by which the. unwary and ignorant would be induced to leave their country under false representations as to the advantages which would await them on their arrival in a foreign land. Many who embarked as emigrants, expecting to derive benefits from their peaceful labour, would, probably, on their debarkation, be summoned to engage in military operations. Although several statutes have been passed to prevent enlistment in foreign service without the consent of the Sovereign, yet the offence is one, as we might have anticipated, not unknown to our common law. Either to enter into such service without such consent, or to contract any engagement inconsistent with. the allegiance due to our own Sovereign, is a high misdemeanour at the common law. (1 East, P. C., c. 2, s. 23; 3 Inst. 144; 4 Bl. Comm. 122). It is a contempt of the monarch's prerogative for a subject te prefer the interests of a foreign potentate, or to do or receive anything that may create an undue influence in favour of such extrinsic power. This rule has been carried so far, that a subject, without the royal per-mission, is not allowed even to receive a pension from another state. Thus, we find, in the third Institute, (p. 144), "It is not lawful for any subject of the King. of England to take a pension of any foreign king, prince, or state, (without the king's license), albeit: they be in league with the King of England, both for that they may become enemies, and for that also it is mischievous and dangerous to the king himself." By 3 Jac. 1, c. 4, s. 18, it was enacted, that every subject of this realm that shall go or pass out of this realm to serve any foreign prince, or shall pass ores |
