THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. 173
Thus where a Chilian, resident in Great Britain, purchased guns and
ammunition here and sent them to a foreign neutral port to be there placed
on board a ship which was to take part in the war between Chili and Peru
—both States being friendly with Great Britain—it was held that he had
committed an offence under section 11, for. he knew that the guns and
ammunition were to be used in the war against Peru. 1 Again, where an
expedition is fitted out in the British dominions, any British subject who
assists in the preparation of the expedition from a place outside the British
dominions, or joins it after it has entered the territory of a foreign State
that is at peace with Great Britain, is guilty of an offence under section ll. 8
