⁴ The international commission in adjudicating claims arising under Article VII of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain of November 19,1794, known as the Jay Treaty, as supplemented by the convention of January 8,1802, allowed interest on the value of neutral American cargoes seized by Great Britain, a belligerent, the latter contending that the seizures were legal. Mr. Pinkney, one of the American commissioners, in his opinion (IV Moore's Arbitrations at page 4318) points out that, while the treaty does not eo nomine empower the commission to award interest, that power is derived simply from the words in the treaty “ which submit the amount of the compensation to our decision.” See also Ward case, pages 41-42, Wilkinson case, page 42, and “ Allowance of Interest,”page 21, Hale's Report, Volume VI of “ Papers Relating to the Treaty of Washington.”Also IV Moore's Arbitrations, pages 3734, 3737.
