Book Description
Excerpt from The Geneva Award Acts: With Notes, and References to Decisions of the Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims IN the following pages I have sought to bring under review the legislation of Congress known as The Geneva. Award Acts. These are the acts approved, respectively, June 23, 1874, and June 5, 1882. Great Britain, it will be recalled, paid the United States, Sep tember 13, 1873, at Washington, the sum of gold, in conformity with the terms of the award. Our government invested this sum in five per cent registered bonds of the United States. Instead of entrusting the distribution of the fund to a mere com mission, Congress, in 1874, created a tribunal, the Court of Com missioners of Alabama Claims, composed of five judges. They were empowered to receive, examine, and give judgment for claims directly resulting from damage caused by the Alabama, the Florida (and their tenders), and by the Shenandoah after leaving Melbourne, February 18, 1865. These vessels were called inculpated cruisers, from the fact that for their presence on the ocean Great Britain had been held responsible. The privileges of the act were also extended to insurers whose losses during the rebellion from war risks exceeded what they had gained from that source.
