United States v. Schooner Peggy
''United States v. Schooner Peggy'', , was a United States Supreme Court case. It was one of a series of cases resolving disputes over ships captured during the undeclared war between the United States and France from 1798 to 1800. The vessel was ordered returned to France.
==Background of the case==
From 1798 to 1800 the United States and France were engaged in many hostile Naval engagements. According to the law at the time an enemy vessel could be ''captured'' during time of war and then subject to ''seizure'', a legal process through which the vessel was determined to be property of the capturing party. At the conclusion of the undeclared war with France a treaty was ratified that stated in part: The treaty was thus retroactive to all vessels that had been captured but for which their seizure was not yet ''final''.
David Jewett was authorized as commander of the ''Trumbull'' to capture any vessel sailing under the flag of France. On April 24, 1800, it came upon the French schooner ''Peggy'' and captured it. The ''Peggy'' was returned to Connecticut where the local courts ruled her a prize of war in September 1800. The owners of the ''Peggy'' appealed to the Supreme Court for her return.〔
