General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
The Mangrove Prize Money, 188 U.S. 720 (1903)
The Mangrove Prize Money Nos. 24 , 34 Argued January 7-9, 1903 Decided February 23, 1993 188 U.S. 720
APPEALS FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Syllabus
Vessels more than five miles apart held not to be within signal distance so as to be entitled to share in prize under the circumstances of this case. Vessels not within signal distance are not "vessels making the capture" within Rev.Stat. § 4630, although they may have contributed remotely to this result. They cannot be taken into account in estimating the relative force of capture and prize. In estimating the relative strength of the captured and capturing vessels, the means possessed by the captured vessel, and not the use made of them, must be considered.
The case is stated in the opinion of the Court.
