In the bill of advocation mentioned in the above decision, the same reason was alleged as to the ship called the Young Tobias.
The Lords did advocate the cause, and adjudged upon this ground, that the skipper, by his oath, acknowledges that he is a sixteenth part owner of the ship, and that he was born in the States' dominions, and that his wife hath ever resided there, and was never in Sweden, albeit he produced her burgess-brief a year before, and deponed that he intended to take his wife to Sweden, seeing, by the King's instructions, a part of a ship belonging to an enemy, confiscates ship and loading, and that the skipper had not changed his domicile before the capture.
