An Annamese Officer named De Von Jeung instructed Lawyers to defend the rights of H. M. Iu Que, and for him Mr "Kingsmill, an advocate before the Court, contended
That H. M. Iu Lue was an Independant Sovereign.
That the ship was not a trading ship and that on one or both these grounds the steamer ought to have been set free. On the part of Landstein, it was contended by Mr Haylat, his advocate
