the seas, and shall voluntarily serve any such foreign prince, not having before his going taken the oath of obedience, shall be a felon." Upon the construction of this act, it was considered, that, if a party went out of the realm with intent to serve a foreign state, though he did not serve in fact, or if a party actually so served, though he did not go over for that purpose, he was within the statute. (3 Inst. 80; 1 East, P. C., c. 2, s. 23). The principal act, however, now in force, and under the provisions of which the proceedings now pending have been taken, is the 59 Geo. 3, c. 69. By that statute, after reciting that the enlistment or engagement of His Majesty's subjects to serve in war in foreign service, without His Majesty's license, and the fitting out of vessels without such license, for warlike operations against the dominions of any foreign prince, may be prejudicial to, and tend to endanger the peace and welfare of the kingdom, it is in substance enacted, that if any natural-born subject, without the leave of His Majesty under the sign-manual, or signified by order in council, or by proclamation, shall accept or agree to accept any military commission, or shall enlist or agree to enlist as a soldier, or to serve in any warlike operation in the service of or for any foreign prince or state, or of any person exercising, or assuming to exercise, the powers of government over any foreign country, or to serve as a sailor or marine, or to be employed on board any vessel of war, or any vessel used, fitted out, equipped, or intended to be used for any warlike in the service of any foreign purpose power, or of any person exercising, or assuming to ex | any vessel to be so employed, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour; and every such vessel, together with all the stores, tackle, and furniture, shall be forfeited, and it may be prosecuted and condemned as in other cases of the forfeiture of vessels to the Crown. By the 8th section, every person who shall, without license as aforesaid, increase or augment the warlike force of any ship of war or other armed vessel which is in foreign service as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour. Provision is then made in subsequent sections for the trial in Westminster of any of these offences committed out of the kingdom, and for excluding the operation of the act from all persons who enter into military service in Asia, with leave from the Governor-General in Council.
