law .
Its most extensive sense ,
means all commerce which is carried on contrary to the laws of the state .
This term is also used to designate all kinds of merchandise which are used ,
or transported ,
against the interdictions published by a ban or solemn cry .
2 .
The term is usually applied to that unlawful commerce which is so carried on in time of war .

t .
Commodities particularly useful in war are contraband as arms ,
ammunition ,
horses ,
timber for ship building ,
and every kind of naval stores .
When articles come into use as implements of war ,
which were before innocent ,
they may be declared to be contraband .
The greatest difficulty to decide what is contraband seems to have occurred in the instance of provisions ,
which have not been held to be universally contraband ,
though Vattel admits that they become so on certain occasions ,
when there is an expectation of reducing an enemy by famine .
3 .
In modern times one of the principal criteria adopted by the courts for the decision of the question ,
whether any particular cargo of provisions be confiscable as contraband ,
is to examine whether those provisions be in a rude or manufactured state ;
for all articles ,
in such examinations ,
are treated with greater indulgence in their natural condition than when wrought tip for the convenience of the enemy '
s immediate use .
Iron ,
unwrought ,
is therefore treated with indulgence ,
though anchors ,
and other instruments fabricated out of it ,
are directly contraband .
