-The two 



high contracting parties, wishing 

 however to avoid, as much as 

 possible, every species of fraud in 

 the execution of the treaty of this 

 date, have agreed, that if it should 

 be proved, in a manner evident to

 of an arbitrator, that the captor 

 has been led into error by a 

 voluntary and reprehensible fault 

 on the part of the captain of the 

 detained ship ; in that case only, 

 the detained ship shall not have 

 the right of receiving, during the 

 days of her detention, the demur- 

 rage stipulated by the present 

 Article.
