Piracy may also be committed by persons revolting against their own Government, as in the case of insurgents not recognised as belligerents. Thus the United States Supreme Court convicted of piracy in 1820 one Thomas Smith and his confederates for having seized by violence, plundered and robbed a Spanish vessel during the insurrection of the South American Colonies against Spain. It is, of course, necessary that the vessel should not belong to an insurgent Government which has been recognised by the captor's State.
