FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT 1870 - SECT 14

14. If, during the continuance of any war in which Her Majesty may be neutral,
any ship, goods, or merchandise captured as prize of war within the
territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, in violation of the neutrality of
this realm, or captured by any ship which may have been built, equipped,
commissioned, or despatched, or the force of which may have been augmented,
contrary to the provisions of this Act, are brought within the limits of Her
Majesty's dominions by the captor, or any agent of the captor, or by any
person having come into possession thereof with knowledge that the same was
prize of war so captured as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the original
owner of such prize, or his agent, or for any person authorized in that behalf
by the Government of the foreign state to which such owner belongs, to make
application to the Court of Admiralty for seizure and detention of such prize,
and the court shall, on due proof of the facts, order such prize to be
restored.

Every such order shall be executed and carried into effect in the same manner,
and subject to the same right of appeal, as in case of any order made in the
exercise of the ordinary jurisdiction of such court; and in the meantime and
until a final order has been made on such application the court shall have
power to make all such provisional and other orders as to the care or custody
of such captured ship, goods, or merchandise, and (if the same be of
perishable nature, or incurring risk of deterioration) for the sale thereof,
and with respect to the deposit or investment of the proceeds of any such
sale, as may be made by such court in the exercise of its ordinary
jurisdiction.

License by Her Majesty how granted.
