DOE ON THE DEMISE OF ANN GILMAN, WIDOW, V. JOSEPH ELVY. This cafe involved in it the dodrine of contingent remainders and executory devifees, the moil difficult and abllrufe part of the Britifh law, and too dry a fulijed for any but profeffional men to be amufed with, The girt of the quellion was, whether Henry Gilman, devifee of John Gilman, took an ante in tail, or an ellate for life, under the will of John Gil man. The cafe was argued with much learning and ingenuity by Mr. HeavSy, fnr the lclTnr of the Plaintiff, and Mr. Pi-resists for the Defendant.— Judgment for the Plaintiff. CHAISTIAM 0. THE LAST INDIA COMPANY. This was a cafe referred for the opinion of the Court on a Charter Party on the (hip Martha, and was Rated to be limiter to the cafe of White v. the Eatt India Company. Mr. Git.ss was entering upon the Plaintiff's cafe, when Mr. Woos), Counfel for the Defendants, 013- ferved, this was an alion of affumpfit, which could not be maintained againft a Corporation. The Court recommended it to Mr. Woos to wave this oblation, as it would only drive the parties to equity; but the learned Counfel prayed the judg- ment of the Court for the Company. The Court ordered the cafe to Rand over, to give the Company time to confider whether they would wave their oblation. C• 14141. •ND INOTHISI V. LI MISVIIIR. Mr. Watteau Rated, that this was a fpecial cafe let down for argument, in order to obtain the judg ment of the Court on a point of great importance. It was an action on a policy of infurance, on a (hip and goods that were at St. Domingo before the late war. The policy was underwritten four months be fore the commencement of hofiilities between this country and France. The Plaintiff was a native of France, and the fhip and goods were kft by capture during the war. This 'titian was not brought till after peace was concluded between the two Bellige rent Powers. The gueßion for the opinion of the Court was, whether in fuck a cafe the Plaintiff was entitled to recover on Rich a policy ? Mr. Watts', contended the Plaintiff was entitled to recover, notwithßanding the late decifien of Fur tado v. Rogers, in the Court of Common Pleas.— As this quellion was of great and general commercial importance, as well as highly intereaing to the par ties thcmfelves, it had been put upon the record to obtain the opinion of the Coon r and he lhould ar gue this cafe in oppofition to that of Furtado v. R 4. gets, in the fame manner as if he were arguing that cafe on a writ of error. The Learned Counfel Rated three heads of argument That the cunent of authorities, as found in the books during the laft fixty years, in the decifions of all the Oiling of Weliminfler Hall, was uniformly in favour of this on being maintainable. He admitted this point was not made in any of there cafes, but it might have occurred in them all : and not once had this !mint been Rated. The point was this, that no tib ial of this country could engage in any contrite whatever, the carrying of which into cited would be detrimental to the intereas of this country in time of war. For this was the foundation of the decifion of the Coon of Common Pleas, in Furtado b. Rogers. In (oppose of this fir( bead of argument, the learned Connie' cited a . great variety of authorities. adly, That from a variety of enactments in different Ads of Parliament, and particularly thofe to be found in the 33d and 34th of the King, it appeared plainly, that the infurance of enemy's property, entered into during the war, iliould be conlidered as illegal, as well as by othe rs, plainly indicating that thofe poli cies that were entered into before the war, were to be held legal. The third point related to the den. gers to which we fliould be expored, if this fort of commercial intercourfe were to be allowed between two nations during a war. Upon this the Learned Counfel expatiated, and infißed on the opinions de livered by the Hon. Mr. Murray, then Solicitor-Ge neral, and afterwards Earl of Mansfield, and of Sir Dudley Ryder, then Attorney•Geseral, in a debate in the Hook of Commons. who were decidedly in favour of allowing infurances on enemy's property. This doctrine was maintained by theft two great legal luminaries, in their legiaative capacity, in 174 t and 1 747. Lord Exxsesoaouc it here obferved, that had this been a lots by the perils of the leas, although it had happened during the war, yet, as the infurance was made before the war, and the action not brought till after the war, the plaintiff. perhaps, might have been entitled to recover; but the cafe was very different, when the lafs was by capture during the war. Mr. WAIMIN having finithed his argument on the I part of the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Barr, on the part of the Defendant, anfwered the arguments of the Learned Counfel, and °braved, that seuthorities that had been quot ed, could not conclude the prefent point, fine that point was never made in any of them. There was not a fingie cafe or authority. in apparition to that of Furtado v. Rogers, and which although it was a foli tary determination, was entitled to great refpeft, on account of the authority of thereby whom it was de cided. He contended rt threw the errar on thofe who difputed its authority. That as to the Ads of Par liament that were cited. they did not apply to the prefent cafe ; and that. as to the opinion of Lord t,fanSTIBLO in his ksiflative thimiStt. it was not to be let up spina his opinion in his judicial character. And al hough he had succeeded in keeping the quef. tion off, fo as not to be under the embarratimem of giving his opinion a; • lawyer, contrary to that which he had Wats aim as a politician, it a as is dl known that he, as a Judge. was of opinion this anion %EA) not maintainable. This was flitted by Mr. Juilic.l &mita in delivering his judgment in Cilfon v. 80. That L earned Judge obferved, that Lot d Mate rt st had told him in confidence, as a lawyer, he was convinced this affirm could not be maintained. As to its detrimental effedt on commerce, the learned Serjeant CO, he did not know any thing more lo than to encourage filch an ;union as this, which tended to increafe the firength of the enemy if carried inn) dee ; by which the party fubfcribing the policy could do no one aft to fupport his own pecuniary ir. tereft, without being guilty of High Treafon. H: admitted that a party. in time of peace, might enter into a contraft to indemnify another againit the aft of any foreign Rate ; but he denied that a native of this, or of any other country, could, either on the principles of common reafon or common (core, be allowed to indemnify any one againft the belligerent ads of his own Prince. Fair that would be coun teraaing, as faras it went,the etfeaofthe force of the country, of whkh he was a fubjeft. He concluded his argument wilt a confident hope the Court would give Judgment for Defendant. Mr. WARREN in his reply obferved, among other things, that it was hardly fair to quote the opinion fuppofed to have been privately communicated by Lord MANSFIELD to Mr. JUitiCe BULLER. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE obferved, that with re gard to the private opinion of Lord MANSFIELD de- livered in confidence to Mr. juilice Bu LLF It being objeaed to, it was full as regular as that of giving his opinion, which was fuppofed to have been deli vered in the Houle of Com.nons, and full as likely to be his genuine opinion. His Lordthip (aid, he bad as little doubt on this policy, as he had on the illega lity of this praflice, of allowing infurances on ene my's property to operate during the war. There was another cafe depending on the determination of this. His Lorclfhip obferved, he would not be under flood to have any kind of doubt on the principal queßion. But as there were fome points Rated by Mr. WARREN on the 33d and 34th of the King, which it was proper to look into, he would not then deliver the judgment of the Court. He defired it to be underflood, however, that its refervation was purely for the purpofe of attending to the particular language of the Statutes cited; but on the (tuition beore the Court. his Lordihip profeffed not to have a particle of doubt.
