152 APPENDIX TO CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 
detention, and of the seizure and detention of the seal-skins then on board the 
“Thornton,” and the breaking up of the said sealing voyage. Also, the estimated 
loss incurred by me during the present year by reason of the non-release of the 
“Thornton ;” and in view of the fact that it is now too late to put the ‘‘ Thornton” 
in repair and condition to engage in next year’s business, the estimated loss for next 
year. And 1 verily believe that the said estimates of the losses incurred by me by 
reason of the seizure and detention of the said “Thornton” for the years 1886, 1887, 
and 1888, are fair and reasonable estimates, and rather under than over the actual 
losses so sustained. 
18. That the estimated loss of 5,000 dollars for each of the years 1887 and 1888, by 
reason of the seizure and detention of the ‘‘ Thornton,” is based upon an average 
catch of 2,380 seal-skins valued at 5 dol. 50 ¢. per skin, the market value at Victoria 
for the present season, deducting from the gross value thereof the cost of outfit 
133. and amountof the wages of hunters and crew, based on the ‘‘ Thornton’s” voyage 
of A. D. 1886. 
19. That during and since the year 1886 7 per cent. per annum was, and now is, the 
minimum rate at which money for ordinary commercial purposes could be obtained 
at the city of Victoria aforesaid, and that hereto annexed, marked (E), is an esti- 
mate of the principal sums on which interest is claimed at the rate of 7 per cent. per 
annum, and the time for which it is so claimed. 
And J, James Douglas Warren aforesaid, make this solemn declaration, conscien- 
tiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the Act respecting extra- 
judicial oaths. 
Declared and affirmed before me at the city of Ottawa, in the county of Carleton, 
this 25th day of November, A. D. 1887, and certified under my official seal.
