Councell Garsias Mastrilli sayes he hath all Jurisdiction both Civil and Criminal in Maritime causes exclusive to all others The King of Spain hath divers other Admirals both in Europe and the Jndies of equal power Marinus Siculus sayeth of the Admirall of Castile that he is next unto the Constable and hath supreme Authority over all that use the Sea and is held to be Lord and chief Commander of the Sea as it is also largely described in the Partidos besides for the dispatch of ordinary Maritime businesse by the same Laws Judges are appointed to reside in Port Towns and other places on the Sea Coasts which are to hear the causes of Sea-men concerning Freight of Ships and Contributions for goods cast over-board or any other matter which Judges were to proceed plainly without solemnities and with all expedition c. In France by an Ordinance of Henry the third made upon a survey of all other former Ordinances ratifyed by the Parliament of Paris The Office of the Admirall in the Kings name is thus declared 1. That of all Armies which shall be raised and set to Sea the Admirall of France shall be chief and our Lieutenant General and shall be obeyed in all Maritime Towns and places which are or may be without contradiction Secondly He shall have Jurisdiction Conusance and determination of all things done or committed on the Sea or shoars of the Seas likewise of all acts of Merchandise fishing freighting or letting to freight or breach of ships of Contracts made touching the matters afore-said of Charter parties of Sea briefs and of all other things whatsoever happening upon the Sea or shoars thereof as our Lieutenant General alone and to all purposes in the places afore-said which Jurisdiction Cognizance and determination we have interdicted to all other our Judges He shall hold his principal Court at the marble Table in the Palace at Paris and shall appoint Judges Deputies in Maritime Cities and Towns who shall hear ordinary matters happening within their Circuits and if any businesse fall out worthy of greater consideration they shall referre the same to him In Denmark the third place of dignity in the Kingdom belongs to the Admirall who is commonly called Ry●ks Admirall and as Morisotus writes He hath the same Right and Power as the Admirall of France In Scotland as VVellwood a Scotish man writes the Admirall and Judge of the Admiralty hath power within the Sea-flood over all Sea-faring men and in all Sea-faring Causes and debates Civil and Criminal So that no other Judge of any degree may meddle therewith but only by way of Assistance as it was found in the Action brought by Anthony de la Tour against Christian Martens 6 Novemb. 1542. The Admirall of England as Mr. Selden observes hath another manner of Right and Jurisdiction than the Admirall of France or other ordinary Admiralls for that the Jurisdiction over the Seas of England and Ireland and the Dominions and Isles of the same as a Province are committed to his Custody and Tuition as to a President to defend the same as in the Dominion of the King by whom he is Authorized The bounds of which Jurisdiction are limited and determined in those Seas and besides as the French and other Admiralls he hath the power over the Navy and the Government over the Sea-men and Jurisdiction over the persons and moveable goods which come under his Judicature pour raison ou occasion del faie de la mer which Jurisdiction hath no bounds but extends to the Mediterranean African and Indian Seas or any other far remote What Mr. Selden delivers concerning the Admirall of Englands special Jurisdiction in the first respect is confirmed by an ancient Record in French in Archivis of the Tower of London set out at large by Sr. Edward Cook the effect and tenour whereof is That whereas during the Warrs between Philip King of France and Guy Earl of Flanders Reginerus Grimbaldus Admirall of the French Navy had spoiled the Merchants of divers Nations sailing towards Flanders in the English Seas and Commissioners being appointed by the two Kings to hear and redresse the Complaints concerning the same the Deputies of the Prelates Nobility and Commonalty of the Towns of England and of divers Maritime Countries as of Genua Catalonia Spain Germany Zeland Holland Friesland and Norway declare That the Kings of England by reason of that Realm time out of mind have been in peaceable possession of the Soveraign Dominion of the Sea of England and of the Islands therein situate by ordering and establishing Lawes Statutes and Counter-mands of Armes Vessels otherwise furnished than for Merchandising and by taking security and giving protection in all Causes needful by ordeining all other things requisite for the maintaining of Peace and Right amongst all other People as well of other Seignieuries as of their own passing through the same And all manner of Cognizance and Jurisdiction high and low touching those Laws Statutes Ordinances Countermands and all other Acts which may appertain to the Soveraign Dominion afore-said and that A. D. B. Admirall of the Sea deputed by the King of England and all other Admiralls appointed by him and his Ancestors heretofore Kings of England have been in peaceable Possession of the said Soveraign Protection together with the Conusance and Jurisdiction and all things before mentioned thereunto appertaining except in case of Appeals to their Soveraign Kings of England for default of doing Right or giving wrong Judgment and especially in making Restraint doing Justice and taking security for the peace of all manner of People bearing Arms on the Sea or Ships sailing otherwise apparelled or furnished than belongs to Ships of Merchandise and in all other points in which a man may have reasonable Cause of Suspicion against them touching Robbery or other misdemeanours Besides the Jurisdiction Extraordinary of the Admirall of England concerning Protection against depredations in the English Seas as Mr. Selden writes his Ordinary Jurisdiction is over the persons and goods moveable which come under his judicature by occasion of businesses relating to the Sea is not only agreeable to the Jurisdiction of the French and other Admiralls but is also warranted by the Kings Commissions as it is apparent by antient and later Patents granted by the Kings of England in which the Admiralls of Englands Ahthority and Jurisdiction is expressely fully declared as followeth Damus Concedimus c. We give and grant to N. the Office of our great Admiral of England Ireland Wales c. And we make appoint and ordain him Governour General of our Navies and Seas of the Kingdoms afore-said And be it further known that we of our special Grace and certain knowledge do give and grant to the same our great Admirall and Governour of our Navies all and all manner of Iurisdictions Liberties Offices Fees Profits Preheminences and Privileges Whatsoever belonging or appertaining So far is

recited in the Solemn form of the Admiralls Commission by Mr. Selden as sufficient to his purpose and then saith he follow many things declaring that most ample power and Jurisdiction amongst which is expressed in Civil Causes that to him it is granted Ad cognoscendum de placitis c. To hold Conusance of Pleas Debts Bills of Exchange Policies of Assurance Accounts Charter-parties Contractions Bills of Lading and all other Contracts which may any wayes concern Moneys due for freight of Ships hired and let to hire moneys lent to be paid beyond the Seas at the hazzard of the lender and also of any Cause Businesse or Injury whatsoever had or done in or upon or through the Seas or publique Rivers or fresh Waters Streams Havens and places subject to overflowing whatsoever within the flowing and ebbing of the Sea upon the Shoares or Banks whatsoever adjoyning to them or either of them from any the said first Bridges whatsoever towards the Sea throughout our Kingdoms of England and Ireland or our Dominions aforesaid or else where beyond the Seas or in any Ports beyond the Seas whatsoever with divers other Clauses containing power of coercion for the maintenance of that Jurisdiction By the Commission of Oyer and Terminer granted likewise under the Great Seal according to the Statute of the 28th of Henry the 8. chap. 15. and other Statutes for the punishing of Offences and matters Criminal committed within the Jurisdiction of the Admirall Power is granted in the Kings name to hear and determine De omnibus singulis proditionibus c. of all and singular Treasons Robberies Murthers Felonies and Consederacies c. as well in and upon the Sea or any River Port or Fresh-water Creek or place whatsoever within the flowing of the Sea to the the full beneath the first Bridges towards the Sea as upon the shoar of the Sea or elsewhere within the Kings Maritime Iurisdiction of the Admiralty of the Realm of England and the Dominion of the same As well against the Peace and the Laws of the Land as against the Kings Laws Statutes and Ordinances of the Kings Court of Admiralty And also touching all and singular other matters which concern Merchants Owners and Proprietaries of Ships Masters Shipmen Mariners Shipwrights Fisher-men Workmen Labourers Saylours Servitours or any others That in all places where Iudges have been appointed for Sea businesses as also in England certain Causes viz. such as have Relation to Navigation and Negotiation by Sea have been held proper for their Conusance MAritime Laws saith Gode●ry concern persons or Dealings between Merchants and Sea-men which is agreeable to the subject matter of the several Laws mentioned in the first Chapter and what appeares to have belonged to the office of Maritime Judges Amongst the Grecians Causes happening betwixt Merchants and Sea-men were called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Causes Concerconcerning Trade as Julius Pollux and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Suidas testifies The Rhodian Lawes although as they are now extant are not ranked under distinct Heads or Titles yet they may be reduced to these particulars As first Concerning hiring freighting of Ships Secondly Concerning transporting Passingers and Goods Thirdly Touching the delivery ad discharging the things received in good Condition Fourthly Touching Contributions for Losses in Common danger and for salvage of Goods Fifthly For borrowing and trusting of money for Sea-voyages Sixthly Concerning Mariners duties their wages and the like The same were the matters taken into Cosideration when the Roman Senate entred into a Consultation to settle the businesse of the Sea For when Tiberius Claudius had signified to them that the Sea-men and Merchants trading by Sea had besought him that such businesses which were incident to the Sea might be reduced into some order Nero then a Senator advised that some might be sent to the Isle of Rhodes who should diligently enquire and take notice of what was there observed Concerning Mariners Sea-men Merchants and passengers Goods put on Board shipps Partner-ships Building Buying or Selling of Ships Entrusting Gold and Silver and divers other things All which was done accordingly as appeares by the titles of the Roman Civil Lawes into which the Rhodian Laws were inserted and by the Laws touching Sea affairs which afterwards the Greek Empire received from the Romans as in the Title De Nauticis Obligationibus c. Touching the obligations or duties of Mariners and all manner of actions which may be brought concerning Ships or those who sail in Ships Owners Masters or Passengers Moreover touching wrecks of Ships casting forth of Goods and Contributions and also Fisher-men and Fishing The same businesses also are regulated by the Constitutions of the Consolato del Mare in which are conteined the Statutes and Ordinances of Antient Authority provided for all Causes of Merchandising and Navigation as it is more fully signified in a Chapter of that Book Nello progresso di questo libro In the progresse of this book it is declared how the Masters of Ships ought to demean themselves towards Merchants Mariners Strangers and all other sorts of people which passe in their Ships and also how Merchants ought to perform with Masters of Ships and how Strangers and others ought to pay fraight for the transporting of their persons c. All which are made good in the particular Ordinances and Constitutions therein conteined The Sea-Lawes in the Spanish Partidaes have the same scope as it is in the Title We intend here to speak of shipping hired to undergoe the Adventure of tbe Sea and we will shew what things the Master of the Ship ought to observe towards the Merchants and how the dammage that shall happen to goods cast over board by occasion of storm ought to be divided and of the price due for the hire of Ships and of other matters with may concern the same affair So much is likewise signified in the Title of the Laws of Oleron which in the Edition annexed to the Customes of Normandy are called Ordonances Royaul touchant le fait de la Mere as also Judgments de la mere des nef des Mariners aussi des Merchants de tout leur estre and in the Edition set out by Peter Garrias La maniere comme les Maestres de Navire The manner how Masters of Ships Merchants and Mariners ought to regulate and govern themselves according to the Iudgements of the Roll of Oleron Notwithstanding these Examples of the usages of all other Nations some amongst us as take upon thē to determine that to the Jurisdiction of the Admiralls of England no special or certain Causes do belong so the Lord Hobard in Audly and Iennings Case affirms That their Jurisdiction is not in respect of any certain Causes as the Causes of Tithes and Testaments are in the Spiritual Court but only in respect of place and no doubt but Sir Edward Cook and others who talk so much of Altum Mare are
