THE SEIZURE OF THE ALLANTON. PRIZE COURT'S DECISION ANNULLED. (Received October 24, 8.47 a.m.) LONDON, 23rd October. The Russian Admiralty Council has annulled the Vladivostok's Prize Court's confiscation of the steamer Allanton, and released the ship and cargo, though the Council considered the suspicious circumstances justified the arrest of the ship. [The Alhntop was carrying coal from Muroran to Yezo (Singapore) when she was seized. Mr. Rea, the owner, declared that tie vessel was chartered prior to the war. The Prize Court, in condemning the steamer, decided that a vessel carrying contraband on the outward voyage was liable to condemnation if she was afterwards seized — a decision which it was contended at the time was opposed ip international law.]
