I COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 17. ttEivErT AND ANOTHER V. osnrutsg. pla;ntiffs are mast makers in the neighbour hood of Wappinr, and the defendant is a ship owner at Hull. The present action was brought to recover 4C. M 8 11s. sd. which were due by the defendant for repairs done to a ship called the Abraham Newland belonging to him. Wattles:es were called to prove the repairs done, and the defendant admitted that they were executed for him. I - Ic had paid into Court the amount of the plaintiffs' demand, deducting rcit), the sum that had been charged for a bowsprit—and which sum, he con:ended, he bad a right to deduct, under the foilowitig 6:curt:stances :—The repairs having been made, and the bowsptit put on board the vessel, she sailed for Jamaica ; but, when she had completed a part of her voyage, it was discovered that the bowsprit was unsound. It was spliced any.' repaired, as well as possible, and the weather being fair, the vessel arrived safely at Jamaica. The bow. sprit: was there unshipped, and the carpenter pro. ceeded to cross cut it—whek it turned out that it was rotten at the core, and of no use whatever, except for fire wood. It la ac accordingly sold for that purpose, and produced 15s. `4d. . . . The A rrouNtv•Gistsettit;., for the plaintiff, now c , ai:ended, that the defendant had no right to make such asa uti. It he had tiny fault to find with the !..owspilt, he ought to firing a cross action. The howspr it, when put on board, WU, to all appearance, sound. It had been examined by the defendant's people, and approved of by them. The defect was •.1 such a na ure, that it was impossible to discover it, is it fay in the internal part bf the wood; and there. f , sie no imputation of deceit could rest upon the plaintiffs. Mr. JEnvzs, for thM deteudant, submitted, that, in this else, a eertaiii d,a4rce of warranty must be re sumed on the part of the plaintiff's. They Inust be supposed to have warranted the article; at least so lir, as that it should be sufficient for the purpose to which it was meant to be applied, which the bowsprit, it evidently appeared, was nor. The defendant, then elute, he argued, had a right to make this set-off af £6O, allowing to the plaintiffs et. 1.15.i2d. for. which it wai sold iu Jamaica. Hr at the same time ohserved, that no idea of fraud could be imputed to the plisintiffs, who he believed were ignorant el the defect which existed in the bowsprit. Lord f.t.F.Nrsoitottoit held, that the Plaintiffs could not be ccusidered as hiving given any warranty.— There was nothing hire that looked like fraud. As fa jr as they could uage of the article they had fur nished, from its external appearance, it seemed to be well•suited to the use for which it was wanted.— ' They could not give a warranty for a defect which was seated in the internal part of the tiNher. Had there been any external flaws, the question weuld have been difteteni. if the Leatned Counsel (Mr. Jervis) wished to move for a new trial, his Lordship would reserve the paint.

Mr. Serjeant Legs stated, that .this was an action brought for the recovery of £4BO, the value of ten hogsheada of sugar, according to the terms of a policy . of instuance, which were lost by the vessel's springing a leak on her way from Gottenburgh . to Stralsund. Juan Francisco WADime, Captain of the Gallia. pace, a Baltic trading ship.—This witness was exa mined through an interpreter, and deposed, that on the 2.5 th Novemian, 1813, he cleared out from the Custom-house at the port of Hamburgh, where he had taken in, in addition to his Gottenburgh cargo, ten hogsheads of sugar, to sail for Stralsund, with a cargo of refined sugar. lid meant to have sailed with the Swedish convoy at soon on the following day. The convoy sailed at noon on that day, and so did he; but owing to his having run foul of ano. then ship, he could not get out with them : he had a pilot on board: this accident caused him to get aground, where he remained near4y three hours : he then endeavoured to get up with the Qpivoy, but tried for almost .two days without effect. Bing dis appointed in this anticipation, and uerelerstanding that some Danish privateers acre in that track, he sheltered himself near one of the islands off t7ee Swe dish coast, and sect to try and procure the protec tion of some Swedish gun-boats, which, however, he was unable to procure. Under those circumstances, not wishing to risk the ship and cargo, he thought it a: e better ;lan to return to Gottenburgb, which he did. He remained there during the winter (it was one of pecoliar severity), and again sailed from thence for Stralsund the earliest moment he possibly could in the state of the season, on the 26th April. Soon after his sailing, 1w met with floating bodies of ice, and on the 3J of May, off the island of Drag°, near Copenhageit, he got foul of a sunken trek or wreck. His ship struck's() hard, that she sprung a leak, and he was then under the necessity of bring ing her before the wind to try and save her, by run ning ashore at the nearest land. She there took the ground in shallow water, and he got the 6fty•fotir hogsheads, of which his entire cargo consisted, ashore, but the sugar they contained was almost e:airely melted away 11 the water ; about one hogshead to the whole (there being a little in etch cask uninjured) Was saved ; that is tosay, one filty•fourth of his cargo. There wete stu,enty.eisht loaves of sugar sot ashore thy, and about forty-fivet wet; the latter melted Away afterward*, The :asks were all brought ashore. In his cross-ekaniination, thii witness admitted that g delay arose in the owners (the present • plailltiffs) outing the ten hogsheads on board at liamborgh, and that he conipleined, of that delay as the cause of his losing the Swedish convoy. He also stated, that the distance between Getienhurgh and Stralsund was something more than fifty German miles. or 2,55 EngliAt ones, mid tl•at he had gone-nearly '23 or 'l5 German miles on his voyage in the first instance, When he thought prCper to turn back for far of the privateers, none of which, however, had he in sight. lie had therefore, after accomplishing half his Voyage, returned to the putt of Gottenburgh. In answer to s question from the Court, the wit- ness said he had been guided in his decision on this occasion, to the best of his judgment, with reforeece to the interest of all parties concerned. The plaiatiff's case being closed, Mr. Serjeant flrsr, for the defendants, who wtee the underwriters of this policy, contended, that upon the terms of their engagement they were not reopen ;lisle for this loss. The tern:s of the policy were— that the assnred should pray fifteen guineas per cent. to return five if the vessel went with convoy, lor the insurance upon the ten casks of sugar. But (and here be rested his ground of defence) there was a menesiraioltini on the face of the policy itself that the underwriters %vete to sustain no average loss ; that is, that if the whole cargo Was lost, they should, of course, make it good, but they were under no respon sibility for partial accidents. There was no reserva tion in the terms of the policy ; all inu.st be lust, or there could be no recovery. Tois was, h fact, a common practice in the assurance of articles like sugar, flex, or fi.h, that were in their nature suscep-. tihle, from a variety of causes, of a partial yet rid onus injury. It was quite clear, in the present case, that the injury was pat teal—the Captain of the vessel distinctly acknowledged that all the casks were got ashore, each with some part of the sugar, and that eveo a number of loaves were saved without injury ; therefore there conid be no grohnd for recover y un der this policy. 'Poke another view of the case: the insurance was from Gottenborgh to Stralsund, a dis tance of about '255 miles ; the vessel had gone halt way : the Captain then became nervous ; every black cloud looked like a privateer. The enemy was not within his natural sight, but " in his mind's eye ;" and he at once adopted the decision of returning to Gottenburgh—that is, to run as much risk in getting backwards as he would have incurred in pursuing ti:e remainder of his journey. Were the underwriters to remain thus nt the sport of his fancy, and were they to be had to their potcy from the month of Novem ber until the April of the following year ? if F,ng lish uncle: writers were to be held so responsible to foreign Captai::s for a three days' voyage, throit:;h out a whole winter, and then for its renewal in a oo cond voyiw, there would soon be an end to sev-li insurances altcge:her. There was another point to which lie called the attent:on of the Jury, and that Was this : that the piaiiitifr; ) by dAiying the ves-.el for a day and a halt, in eeoieg o,e ten ho , ,lsheads eit sugar aboard, had themselves deprived the Captain of the, opportunity of sailing with colivoyit circum stance that, io reality. o;)structed his first voyage. Tile delay was, therefore, the act of the plaintiffs. Fle mentioned this quite exclusive of the considera tion, which was, in tact, a qtestion of law, relative to • the terns: of the policy. Sir VICARY Glees, in charging the Jury, said, that this trial was for the a ecovery of the amount of a policy of insurance upon ten hogsheads of sugar. Tbe inquiry involved two questions—first, whether the underwroers were responsible for the whole of the ten hogsheads of sugar lost in the voyage, or only for an average proportion—and t, secnnd:y, whether the loss, as laid Is, lore them in evidenc,., was that sett of average loss a., , ,aiirst which the underwriters had pr-tette.d themselves accor,!ing to the terms of the agreement. Something had been said in the court of the speech for the defendant, as to a delay in the' first instance in potting . i re cargo on board, and that this had led to the ultimate loss, by preventing the ship from sailing with convoy. There was, however, no proof in evidence that the plaintiffs were the catlike of this delay. Besides, the policy was either with or without coavoy, there was no WA, raßty for her sail ing with convoy—the Captain only sought this ope poatinity for the general safety of his charge. The 'Learned Judge here recapitulated the evidence of the Captain, detailing the proceedings of his first voyage. Ha might (continued the Judge) have pro ceeded on his voyage, 'tie true, although he knew that the Baltic loos Olen swarming with privateers. The underwriters were certainly by the Capotin's eau- Lion held to their policy ; and they had no right to com plain, that, when acting to the Lest of his judgmen!, he did not risk their interest as well as that of his owners, by proceeding on a hazardous voyage.— In tie subsequent part of the transaction, when the `loss was incurred, no blame was certainly imputable I to the Captain. Those were the facts of the case. Another question then arose.-.-it was one of a law and of 3:1 extremely delicate character. It arose on the conoroction of the memorandum in the policy. relative to the underwriters disclaimer against are: , /,;-.. , Ins; a:ld wh e ther, according to the terms o f IN: i:t. strument, the present loss was that against wlech they had protected themaelyes. Now, 101:Ilds. cot of the Lit were covered by this assurance—by the stranding of the ship, all but a 5 ith part were hot. 1 From the circumstance of this loss, em4eracing part of each hogshead of the fifty-imp, it was impos -1 si'oie to mike a particular exception for the tea ! tFat were insured, as they suffered among the rest, and the loaves of sugar saved were common to the I whole cargo. Therefoxe to determin e w h et h er w h a t was lost in the ten hogsheads be a total loss, or a , partial ore, it became necessary to look to the prin. ciple o r the Fete:Ling regulation which the under writers errib - reied in their policy. There were certain articles more liable to loss at sea than others, and if the insurers did rot make a reservatipn, they would ex pose themselves on numberless occasions to a very great average low—Fish, for instance, might becomel putrid from a very little water getting amongst it, I , and the entire loss of the cargo would fall on the , underwriters it they had not guarded against it.— 'rimy therefore said, we w:11 pay a whole toss arising from the accidents and dangers of navigation, but we will pay no partial one. In the Court of King's Beach it had been decided in the case of a cargo of flag, that had,beta_ 044:01ton) the vase' in a bwrrn, . . a . ge . . lnd n: part swallowed up in the sea, but score portion gathered up and preserved in . a damaged state, that the Underwriters were answerable for the part totally lost, but not for that recovered and var. dolly damaged. But in the case of a cargo of fish; which had b.come so putrid by partial injury in the voyage, that to prevent infection it became reees.,ar y to throw it all overboard, it v.-as held by the Court that the Underwriters were not answerable. In the present case a loss had been sustained ; but the main question was, had it arisen within that species of de, terioration, against which the insurers had provided ? He would, however, recommend to the Jury to con. sides' whether any blame was imputable to the Cap. tain or the Plaintiff, in the management of the v6e. age, as matters stood at the time ; and to return a verdict subject to the opinion of the Court, on the c instroction of the policy as to an average loss. The Foteman of the Jury addressed the Court, and sa;d, that they were of opinion no blame was i-oputable to ti , e Captain—that he acted for the best. They kit therrsAyrs bond, however, to find a ver. dict I(:r the D..feedant.s, according to the terms of the policy ; the loss by sea in this case being, ill their opinion, an average hiss. The Jutlor.:—•' The less by sea might either be A total or en aver.q. , ,e Iriss ; but, in decid.rg tor the Defendants, you .leave the elaintiff to seek the opinion e,f the Court on the point of law, through the medium of a new trial, instead of reserving the point, by which both parties would stand on their respective grounds, 311114 be nearer to a final decision. fly finding for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court, you leave the matter open—by finding for the defendant generally, you at once decide on the question of liability. Do so, if you please : Iby no means seek to limit your province, if you see your way clearly on the subject.''— The Jury, after a short conference, returned a verdict for the defendant. QURR V. ROTtom. In this case the as,ignees of D. Chapman, a hank rupt, sought to recover damages from the defendant, Rotton. for the use of a farm near Feversham, called Ham Farm, and the furniture and stock thereon. The tenant who lately held this far►n was Chapman, the bankrupt, who bad abv!onded—and the claim for recovery WAS made upon Rotton, who remained in possession, on the gi (mad of an assignment for a year's tenute, which h.! receivrd from the bankrupt ,►x months before hi and for which he had given a vAlnable- For the Plaint,llws ca e, sz•veral servants on the farm appeared, who depased, that during the time the Deleudant laid (him tie pos..eas;on, Mr. Chapman • and continued to pity them isms actually the holder, their wages.
