(if the Sudencies of the service admit of it) furnish a sufficient crew to navigate the Vessel to the nearest Port where a Vice Admiralty Court is established.

The Board would further suggest, in case any bill to amend the Act be hereafter introduced to Parliament, that Exclusive Jurisdiction be given to the Admiralty Courts to determine all questions arising in the Execution of it, in the same manner as in cases of Prize.
