7008. PRIZES, Restitution.—[continued].
Restitution of prizes has
been made by the Executive of the United
States only in the two cases: 1, of capture
within their jurisdiction, by armed vessels, originally
constituted such without the limits of
the United States; or, 2, of capture, either
within or without their jurisdiction, by armed
vessels, originally constituted such within the
limits of the United States. Such last have
been called proscribed vessels.—
