three thousand pounds sterling, to satisfy all damages and injuries 

 which the said privateer, or her officers or men, or any of them, may 

 do or commit during their cruise contrary to the tenor of this treaty, 

 or to the laws and instructions for regulating their conduct; and fur- 

 ther, that in all cases of aggressions the said commissions shall be 

 revoked and annulled. 



It is also agreed that whenever a judge of a Court of Admiralty of 

 either of the parties shall pronounce sentence against any vessel or 

 goods or property belonging to the subjects or citizens of the other 

 party, a formal and duly authenticated copy of all the proceedings in 

 the cause, and of the said sentence, shall, if required, be delivered to 

 the commander of the said vessel, without the smallest delay, he pay- 

 ing all legal fees and demands for the same. 



ARTICLE XX. 



It is further agreed that both the said contracting parties shall 

 not only refuse to receive any pirates into any of their ports, havens r

 to enlist in their military service, any of the subjects or citizens of 

 the other party; and the laws against all such offences and aggres-

 or letters of marque for arming any vessel to act as a privateer 

 against the other party, and be taken by the other party, it is
