Excerpt from Russian and Japanese Prize Cases, Vol. 1: Being a Collection of Translations and Summaries of the Principal Cases Decided by the Russian and Japanese Prize Courts Arising Out of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-5, Russian CasesThe publication of these Reports is undertaken by HM Stationery Office at the request of the Admiralty and the Foreign Office, but the Editors alone are responsible for the text of the decisions as they appear in the volume.The original decisions were pronounced in Russian, and in preparing this volume for the press the Editors have had to contend with certain difficulties. They are not the trans lators, and the majority of the translations upon which they have had to work were prepared somewhat hurriedly for use in connection with the current work of the Foreign Office, when the transmission of the substance of the decisions was of more importance than niceties of language or the correct transliteration of names. Verbal alterations have therefore been found to be necessary, but it is hoped that these have not involved any substantial variation from the original Russian.In order to cast the judgments as far as possible into the traditional form of English reports, headnotes have been added and also introductory statements of the facts either derived from the statements In the case or taken directly from the judgment of one of the Courts. With regard to the evidence brought before the Courts and the arguments of the parties, no attempt has been made to obtain further particulars than such as are given in the decisions or in the written claims or appeals where these have been obtainable.The cases reported in this volume relate to neutral ships only, no enemy ships appear to have been the subject of proceedings in the Russian Prize Courts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
