Résumé
Commodore Johnstone's secret mission to the Cape of Good Hope in 1781 had a surprisingly large number of legal consequences, not only in England but also at the Cape. In the main they concerned two matters, namely naval law, more specifically intra-naval immunity, and prize law, more specifically, the question of joint captures. These matters are considered in two parts, of which the first appeared in (2015) 21(2) Fundamina 392-456.
