High Court of Admiralty

In England, formerly the court presided over by the deputy of the admiral of the fleet. It was established c. 1360 to deal with matters of discipline and cases of piracy and prizes (ships and goods captured at sea), but it eventually had jurisdiction over mercantile and shipping matters. In 1875 it was merged with the other great courts of England into the High Court of Justice.
