Stewart, et al. v. M'Intosh
4 H&J 233 (1816)
The act of congress of the 13th of June 1798, ch. 70, interdicted commerce with "any port or place within the territory of the French republic, or the dependencies thereof, or with any place in the West Indies, or elsewhere, under the acknowledged government of France." The defence set up by the defendant in the court below was, that the voyages were illegal, and that although the amount in dispute was received by him as the agent of the plaintiffs, yet that he had a right to retain it, because the plaintiffs could not recover the proceeds of an illegal transaction
