[7] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

prize, contracts. a reward which is offered to one of several persons who 
shall accomplish a certain condition; as, if an editor should offer a silver 
cup to the individual who shall write the best essay in favor of peace. 
     2. in this case there is a contract subsisting between the editor and 
each person who may write such essay that he will pay the prize to the 
writer of the best essay. wolff, dr. de la nat. sec. 675. 
     3. by prize is also meant a thing which is won by putting into a 
lottery. 

[8] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

prize, mar. law, war. the apprehension and detention at sea, of a ship or 
other vessel, by authority of a belligerent power, either with the design of 
appropriating it, with the goods and effects it contains, or with that of 
becoming master of the whole or a part of its cargo. 1 rob. adm. r. 228. the 
vessel or goods thus taken are also called a prize. goods taken on land from 
a public enemy, are called booty, q.v. and the distinction between a prize 
and booty consists in this, that the former is taken at sea and the latter 
on laud. 
     2. in order to vest the title of the prize in the captors, it must be 
brought with due care into some convenient port for adjudication by a 
competent court. the condemnation must be pronounced by a prize court of the 
government of the captor sitting in the country of the captor, or his ally; 
the prize court of an ally cannot condemn. strictly speaking, as between the 
belligerent parties the title passes, and is vested when the capture is 
complete; and that was formerly held to be complete and perfect when the 
battle was over, and the spes recuperandi was gone. 1 kent, com. 100; abbott 
on ship. index, h.t.; 13 vin. ab. 51; 8 com. dig. 885; 2 bro. civ. law, 444;
