Excerpt from Correspondence Respecting the Alabama My Lord, Legation of the United States, London, January 20, 1864. I have the honour to submit to your Lordship's consideration copies of certain papers relating, to the case of the barque Sea Bride, of Boston, captured by the Alabama. It is affirmed in the depositions making a part of these papers that the Sea Bride was taken within the maritime jurisdiction of Great Britain, in Table Bay, at the Cape of Good Hope. It is presumed that if this fact can be established Her Majesty's Government will not hesitate to accord that full reparation to the claimants for this lawless proceeding which is justly their due. Should it, however, turn out on a fuller investigation of the facts that the capture was not made within the jurisdiction of Great Britain, I am nevertheless instructed to present the claim under the general argument set forth in the note which I had the honour to address to your Lordship on the 23rd of October last.
