257. I have read the evidence taken in the Admiralty Court on the part of Sir Jonathan Keat and Co. owners of the ship Angelo and find it sufficiently proved:
(1). That Keat and Co. were the true owners of the said ship in 1657 and 1658, William Rand being master and Daniel Elwood purser, and they sent the ship on a voyage to Smyrna, where they took divers passengers, some being Turks, with divers goods to be taken thence to Tunis and Leghorn, and were to receive 2630 pieces of 8 reals for the passengers and 6190 for the goods on arrival at Tunis or Leghorn, for the benefit of the Co.
(2). The master and purser when at Smyrna lent 9800 thalers by way of maritime exchange, of the Company's money to some of their passengers, and were to receive 11,342 thalers or pieces of 8 on consigning the goods at Tunis and Leghorn.
(3). A short time after the ship, when sailing peacefully, was furiously attacked by 5 Venetian ships of war commanded by Sig. Antonio Peruglia, vice admiral of the fleet, on the 16th April 1658, when 7 or 8 of the passengers were slain, many of the ship's company wounded and 600 men boarded, stripping the sailors and passengers and dividing the goods among them.
(4). Although the master complained to the vice admiral and after to the general, showing to whom the goods belonged, the hire due to the owners and how the merchandise was pledged for the money lent to the passengers he could never obtain satisfaction, and in a suit only the ship was adjudged to him for the satisfaction of the owners. So it is clear that the Venetians treated the passengers unjustly; but the master did his duty to prevent their loss, which cannot be imputed to him.
Sir J. Keat and Co. were more particularly injured as the Venetians maltreated the crew, deprived them of the hire for passengers and goods as well as of their money advanced on loan.
(1). By the law and custom of the Mediterranean and Levant sea if the goods of enemies are taken in the ships of friends the master of the ship taken shall receive his full hire as if the ship unladed at its destination. In time past an English ship with Turks on board, who owed for their transport, being taken by a warship of the Grand Duke of Florence, Alberico Gentile, a famous Italian lawyer pronounced that the English should receive the full amount for transporting the Turks.
(2). As regards the loss of Keat & Co. on account of the goods taken which were pledged for the loan, admitting that the passengers were Turks or enemies of the Venetians, the latter could not acquire a better right to them than belonged to the passengers themselves, and the plundering could not wipe out the just claims of the English.
I am therefore of opinion that for the satisfaction of Keat & Co. his Majesty may inform the Agent of Venice that he is informed of the violence shown by Venetian forces against the ship Angelo and that he looks for satisfaction in some reasonable time, failing which he will be obliged to grant his subjects such means for recouping themselves as are permitted by the law of nations.
