3. If any Prize shall be brought within Her Ma-
   jesty's jurisdiction through mere stress of weather,
   or other extreme and unavoidable necessity, the Go-
   vernor may allow for her removal such time as he may
   consider to be necessary.
4. If any Prize shall not be removed at the time
   prescribed to the captors by the Governor, the Go-
   vernor may detain such Prize until Her Majesty's
   pleasure shall be made known.
5. If any Prize shall have been captured by any
   violation of the territory or territorial waters of Her
   Majesty, the Governor may detain such Prize until
   Her Majesty's pleasure shall be made known.
   Her Majesty's Government have not thought it
   necessary to make any addition to the instructions
   already given with respect to cargoes, viz., that Her
   Majesty's Orders apply as much to prize cargoes of
   every kind which may be brought by any armed ships
   or privateers of either Belligerent into British waters,
   as to the captured vessels themselves. They do not,
   however, apply to any articles which may have formed
   part of any such cargoes if brought within British
   jurisdiction, not by armed ships or privateers of
   either Belligerent, but by other persons who may
   have acquired or may claim property in them by
   reason of any dealings with the captors.
   These rules are for the guidance of the Executive
   Authority, and are not intended to interfere in any
   way with the process of any Court of Justice.
   I have, &c.,
   EDWARD CARDWELL.
   Governor Sir George Grey, K.С.В.,
   &c., &c., &c.
