5887. NEUTRALITY, Usurpation of jurisdiction.—[continued].

It is the right of every
nation to prohibit acts of sovereignty from being
exercised by any other within its limits;
and the duty of a neutral nation to prohibit such
as would injure one of the warring powers.—
To E. C. Genet. Washington ed. iii, 572. Ford ed., vi, 283.
