United States Court of Claims January 2, 1906, French Spoliations 3308, 4081, 2614 (Gladding v. United States)

Per Curiam :

ddie position of the court in reference to this case is a very simple one. It is that the United States had the right to present this claim either to Sweden, who owed protection to this American vessel, or to France, who seized the vessel in Swedish waters, and, through her officers’ caused her to be condemned and sold illegally.
