Description
Messrs. Carlisle and Cox for the appellant, Wright: 1. The power gives authority to manage the suit, on behalf of the owners, and to prosecute an appeal before his Imperial Majesty in the superior tribunals, to do whatever he, being present, could or would do, to make compromises, name arbitrators and mediators, demand and adjust damages, to receive the vessel and cargo, and give receipts, and after restitution to appoint a captain and crew to navigate her if they deem advisable, or, if not, to sell her on account of the owners and receive the proceeds, with free, frank, and general administration, without limit, and power of substitution, &c. What can be more comprehensive than the complete control given over the vessel and its proceeds, with general administration, without limit? Would not the right to receive the vessel, and convert her into money, involve the right to receive the proceeds, if the former were impossible? And is it possible, that with all incidental and resulting powers, and right of general administration, or management, without limit, the attorneys would not be entitled to apply to and receive indemnity from the Imperial Government at Rio, on the failure of a suit in the Superior Court, at that place?
