No. LI I. LAST SCENES OF THE LIFE OF THOS. DER3IODI. Duriag the 3 ecied Dermaly was enjoying the liberal fa vour, of Sir •litt BLAND BOWES and the Literary Fund, his genius attracted the patronage of the Right Ha nourable lissay Aonticorox, then Chancellor of the Ex chequer (now Lora Viscount Sinsiourii), and his brother the Eight Honourable Hasa Ann' SIG TON. It is net a less dignHietl than pleasing task to relate the certerous actions of men : particularly of those who, though lased is stations where aeons is difficult, and where (cm is generally coneeited) complaint can be but seldom beard, ca': vet, amid the bustle and distraction of public business, of framing laws, and deciding on the fate of nations, con sider and relieve the distresses of suffering merit. Few i n deed have experienced so liberal and exalted a p umices' Dermody, and it is infinitely to be regretted that none ever made so unwise a nse of it. Unfortunate ly, he had so connected himself with the lowest associ ates, that no resolution he possessed could shake off the rower which those harpies had gained over his too easy i!iirotition. They knew his foible.; which they non rishnl in oraer to profit by them, and this they did at too Luxe a cost. The sacrifice of his happiness was by them considered as trifling slid indispensable, provided thee were themselves to benefit by it; and even eltarac terind honourable feeling (Which lie sometimes told diem were necessary to be presetwed) were, when their exigen ces pressed, to he given tip. Such was the degrading condition to which his follies often reduced him, that he was considered by these wretches as in a state of vassalage, sld be the dread of punishment to be rendered passive and obedient to their will. Sometimes he would, however, thrum! their authority, and assert his independence; which be did by flying from one miserable lodging to an other still more so ; and remaining there till the same cause, or the terror of an arrest, compelled him to return to the former spot. Those who gained most by his weak- Deis, were ihe persons with whom at various necessitous periods he lodged ; and such was the power of habit, or snit his fatal propensity for this kind of society, that he was continually involved with them in their poverty sad low excesses. The little food he required was ge t:trolly purchased and prepared by them : and no real sireement having been made, a running account was sl ams kept against Derrncxly ; accoklbtg to which the sum he owed them might, for any knowledge he hail of the justice of the claim, have been at any time one pound or one hundred. They found this plan too profitable to adopt any other ; And Ly keeping him always in debt, they kept Mm always io dmul. Whenever he received a sum of nanny, he ho nestly brought it to his landlord, who always(as he termed it)" carried it to the account ;" and wMe Money was noted and Dermedy had none to give, the recast wa,s in general followrd by en arrest, which frequently turned out a very profitable speculation. The fear of a prison made him importune his friends, who never suffered him to lan guish in confinement ; and as those who had oceksioned kis embarrassments were his nieseengers during such pe rials, they consequently obtained a knowledge of his pa trons, and turned the kind benevolence intended to relieve him, into a source of ensolatnent to themselves. _ The natural consequence of thoughtlessness and dissipa not is dependence ; and as Dermody had in his exigencies no other means of support than what these associates were pleased to afford him, he conceived himself bound, when fortune smiled upon him, not only to discharge his debts of ibis description, but to bestow some signal mark of fa vour for the kindness thus conferred upon him while pen r.tless. These returns varied, according as the ohligationt IMisbosred under were weighty or trivial ; without any curnieration of the motive which occasioned them. At one time he might be seen in his garret in company with bit lasts the cobbler and his wife, and some attic lodger of equal consequence, regaling on a goose which his industry , had roasted by a string in his own apartment, while the pallet-bed, which stood in a corner, was strewed with vs noes vegetables ; the fire-side decorated with numerous foaming pots of porter, and the cobbler's work-stool, boot leg, lap-stone, .fie. were commodiously placed as seats. Ott usher occasion, in some neighbouring ale-house, entersl tailing the same personages with the various rarities which resorts of this description generally afford ; where as the ;eonisbed guests, enveloped in clouds of smoke, sat listen ing with rapture to the eloquence of Derrnody, the host was W be discovered in the back ground applauding with one land, while his other dexterously scored an additional item to the bill, which, if Detmody could not discharge it due mg the following day, was at once put into the hands of tome pettifogging practitioner of the law, and the unfortu nate debtor appeared in the evening through the bars of a aponging-house, like Bajaaet in his iron cage. Ha excesses at began last to shake his constitution. Ile frequently felt much pain and inconvenience from an asth matic complaint ; and being told that it would . prove fatal to him if he continued in his course of dissipation, he h'!an to think it was time to reform his way of living. skit he very speedily accomplished, though not without some formidable struggles. Denman: was, however, at this time in a mare deplorable audition than lie bad been in for many months. Ile found applications wherever they were madedisregarded ; and his health so much impaired, that a change of air was orb- Mutely necessary for his recovery. Fleeing lost the esteem id mins who lad liberally and frequently relieved his rants, am' being in daily dread of further persecution from those persons whom he had so often pampered, he formed 'is: resolution o( freeing himself entirely from a connexion nbich now, at too btu a period, be felt to be both degrad :a.; and destructive. To effect so desirable a change, mo * was wante,l ; and unfortunately he had wearied the °Nails of even his warmest friends. The Earl of irs wu in Scotland, and therefore immediate relict Id cot be mites:test from his Lordship. He had slighted Rragge, and highly offended Sir James Bland Burgett t members of the Literary Fund had so frequently at. led to the applications Mule in Isis behalf, that any (diet demand in that quarter he deemed imprudent far ' Present. Ile ha! likewise neglected his last generous patron, Mr. ; nor was he less culpable with regard to the rest which that highly esteemed gentleman's brother in his pursuits and advancement. Mr. Addington, as aeon has himself acknowledged, not only relieved his. In, but endeavoured to correct his errors, condescending ilcht him and, but for his fatal negligence, doubtless lass to have pointed out a pith where prudence and ltenion of his talents would have secured bins famt indeptiultnee. But he disregarded alike the adinoni m of those ili.ringuished benefactors, and the prospect of or greatness, and thus again sunk into Contempt and ten!. )( Itliody was not here totally forsaken; Mr. Ilatehard the bookseller received Instructions from Mr. Addington , to print and publi s h a v ol ume o f hi s poems w hi c h was at I this tune preparing for the press. This liberality was truly honourable to the feelings of hie patron, to whom his fol lies and imprudence had justly made Mot in some measure obnoxious ; but his poverty and his fatal illness now ren dered his days and nights heavy and burdensome, and it was hoped that his distresses would be alleviated by the profits arising from the sale of the work. The principal poems in this collection are the Ex tra pagans s, the Pleasurea of Poesy, the Enthusiast, and Ari bert and Angela; the latter of which, a legendary tale, is dedicated to his g;:uerous benefactor Sir James Bland Burges. There are also many beautiful passages to be found in tLe Pleasures of Poesy : the whole is strongly conceived ; and the sentiments by which he has delineated the powers of his poetical ancestors, arc happily combined. and fanci• fully expressed. The moral reflections are likewise calcu lated to improve the mind, and paint with beauteous imagery the comforts arising troll; patient resignation under affliction. ' The poem of hte Enthusiast is such as only an enthusi ast in the art could produce, when the unbridled fancy is set at liberty, and roams through boundless tracts of visionary delight. The first stanza will justify this as sertion With hurrying finger smite the fervid wire. Th' intolerable rapture sera my ono!: I burn whit inipiration's fiercest tire s • In lawless Tiber y my senses roll Beyond demurer Reason's coy control, Beyond the sapient houndalby Prudence laid Arid while unwonted fantasies inspire, Amid Ire interminable waste of abode, In mad delirium lo,t, my daring tour is made. Danger is finely portrayed in these lines : High the headlong torrent's foamy fall, Whose waters howl along the rugged steep, On the looas.juiting rock, or stould'riag wall, . See where gaunt Danger lays him down to sleep ! The piping winds his mournful vigil keep ; The lightning's blue his stony pillow warm ; Anon incumbent o'er the dreary deep, The fiend enormous strides the lah'ring storm, And 'mid the thund'rous strife expands his giant form. Madness and love are heat described, and jealousy fol lows :- 4 Ab ! who is she, of dark unsettled brow, That bleeding drags an angcl-shape behind, And quaff's the Dying gore ?—I know het now : 'Tis Jealousy ; that monster of the mind, In whom arc thousand contraries combln'd. Now moping, melancholy, o'er the wild ; Now fretful, rash, unreaa'ning, uncortin'd In Constancy's best blood her hands defiled And strangling in its birth her own devoted child.' The other pieces in this collection possess sufficient merit to delight the reader of taste; anti it will be found also, as the poet has himself modestly express 4.-11, that " they are neither 1101160u' nor immoral ; and though sparingly illu minated by the vivid coruscations of wit, not frequently destitute of ethic observation and salutary precept." But, alas! the period was now fast advancing when the praise or censure of the world could avail him nothing; his poverty and his tlisorder (a rapid decline) had so deetroyed and reduced both his spirits and his frame, that medical aid could only be applied to relieve, not to restore Ile was blind, however, to the alteration which his malady had made in his appearance ; and fancied that the strength of his constitution, and proper nourishment, would remove his illness and renovate his spirits. Unfortunately, his si tuation was at this time unknown to those liberal friends who had so often assisted him ; he had withdrawn from n their notice; and conscious of his imprudence, would n o t n apply, lest his story should be disbelieved, and his solicita tions alighted. The aid afforded by the very few who were acquainted with his present melancholy condition, was not sufficient to procure the comforts his daily increasing malady required. On the 15th of July, the present writer, accompanied by Mr. AUingham, went to visit him. They found him in a wretched hovel, leaning over a few embers which hardly gave warmth to his shivering and emaciated body, in a state of the deepest misery and dejection. He had scarce power enough left to express the grateful sentiments which their visit inspired : the worth faltered on his parched lips; his eyes became filled with tears ; and being unable to give n expression to the strong feelings which laboured in his breast, he sunk again into the melancholy position in which they had discovered him, and continued silent for a considerable time. These emotions having subsided, he , en‘leagouresl to relate the particulars of his unhappy situa tions, but was often obliged to pause, in order to gather sufficient strength to encounter the violent and oppressive cough which momentarily returned. The deserted appear ance of the house, better calculated indeed for the retreat of a horde of robbers than the retreat of a dying person, and the wretched poverty displayed in the few articles of furniture which it contained (a few shapeless stools, some faggots of wood scattered on the floor, and a crazy bedstead without curtains, placed opposite a door which admitted through its crevices both the wind and rain), added to the gloom which was observable on entering it, and the reflec tion that a human being was there struggling with a fatal disorder, without either medical assistance, the comforts which sickness requites, or the necessaries requisite for the mere support of nature, occasioned the most painful emo tions in his two friends. When he had recovered a little from the agitation which their appearance had occasioned, lie raised himself from the drooping posture in which for some time he had placed himself over the fire; and fixing on the author his sunk eyes, said, " Thank Cod for this friendly visit ! I thought I had given the whole world, and you, in particular, cause to forget me. I have deserved the severest censure; but do not now remember I have done so." The caution was needless; his past errors were buried in the recollection of his present sufferings, and he had little to dread from the chidingsef those who had now to perform wily the few last offices of' friendship. When his disorder allowed him to enter for a moment into conver sation, he assumed a spirit which, though faint, was yet mingled with the eccentricity that had on almost every oc casion marked his character, and which was equally observ able on trivial and on important matters. IVhile the author was stating to him some particulars which he imagined might be conducive to his comfort and recovery, Dermody broke suddenly from the conversation, and observing that Mr. Allinghain haul taken up a volume of Huuibras which lay on the table, said with a ghastly smile, " You see I am merry to the last." A violent fit of coughit.g succeeded this effort; when, with a presentiment of his approaching dissolution, he said—" That hollow cough rings out my - - . . . The comforts which his situation required and admitted having been ordered to be procured for him, his two friends ' went in search of a more comfortable and commodious lodging ; which they speedily procured on the most de lightful part of Sydenham-common where he was to have a careful nurse. and to be removed &following day. Some money was now given to the landlord for his use, and hav ing assured him that they would return the next morning and convey him to the apartments they had provided for him, his visitors took their leave; not without a hope that their solicitude for his happiness, and the anxiety which they had expressed for his recovery, would have soothed his apprehensions, and secured him comfort during the tedious night. Their hopes, however, were vain, and their labours ineffectual. DcamODY expired the same evening, at the age of twenty-seven years and six mouths—Raymond's Life ig Tlicanas Dermody.

They were to look for safely in their own etc' tions. The act of the last session was moodily the most causeless stem:, ever passed, and lure, or any where else, he would assort, that no ratan could be an utoputLfieti friend to Ireland who gave it his support. It'llat enure. were they to took to foray. lief 7 Were they to go to the fout,of the throne and petition for equal benefits in return for their blood spent in the service of the country ? Mr. O'Connell said, that the deductions drawn by Mr. Moore, in his Life of Sheridan. were not such as could'aion• t=ree him that the King was averse to tic freedom of his Catholic ' , objects. lie alluded to the promise made by his $511157 to herd Kenmore, on the subject of the Roniaty Catholic claims in 18 6 . But if they descended a st e p l ower , to t h e Duke of Yore, there they had no hope, As in his opinion that or his Royal Highness was rendered impenetrable to reason. There was • cruel coldness ' about hie Royal highness's conduct in hallooing on the remnant of the Ascendance in this country, which shut up limey avenue to hope, as far as fie was concerned. Oh, may Dad of Heaven forbid they should ever Bee hie Royal Highness on the rinse ! (Cheers.) May the length of his Majesty's life preclude his ever coming so it. (Cheers.) The tutor° historian would be very well able to trace when Lord Liverpdbl put aside hir nentrality on the Catholic question t it was at the period when the Duke of York threw himself between an act of justice anti the people of this country He (.11r. O'Connell) was himself a living instance of Lord Liver pool's almost kindness to the Catholics, as he never put o question to him during his examination before the Commkteeof Irish In.: quire, which did not tend to the proniutlon of their cause. In the bottle they had very little to hope for. while Lord Eldon waled it. Their only hopes, then, were in the House of Commons, abd this brought hint to a question, regarding which he had heard much. That woe, the propriety of agitating tick question in the next Se - *ton. Their only mode of proceeding, in his opinion, was to send forward petition after petii ion, and not to submit for a moment to slavery or degradation. If sot able to Achim 'beam:mates of in tolerance, let them exhibit him In all his native deformity. It was I his duty to lay before them his sentiments, and if they were wrong, let the Catholics of Ireland decide so. and he would at once ac qiiiesce, but otherwise he would continually give them to the Catholic Body. The Learned Gehtleman next adverted to the facility afforded by the late Catholic Association to fotward peti tions from all parts of the country but the difficulties thrown in their way by the late Act, were easily surmounted, for nett county could hold an Aggregate Meeting Inc fourteen days. By making an admission ticket fur n small mum, they could continue (ado their busittera in spite of the Statute. Thus would they tuitse t h e country again, and they would bare with them more Protestant fiends than ever. The good feeling of liberality was gaining ground in the errantry. It was impossible to go on without pecuniary resources. lie hod the pleasure to say, that notwithstanding that statute, the Catholic Rent could go on as well as ever. (Loud cheers.) He believed that the momentary dissentious which might hate existed "girding details, had all vanished.

Yesterday Mr. Martin, of Galway, sent his valet to Marylebone Office, to vindicate his character from the imputations cast upon it, in consequence of his supposed connection with the swindlers, Ireland and Ponsonby. Ile said he had been a long time in Mr. Martin's service, and knew nothing of Ireland beyond the fact that one of his relatives was concerned in a marble quarry. Mr. Rawlinson said he could not have the time of the office wsiated in listening to long speeches. Ile was quite satisfied as to the valet's innocence. _ _ Mr. Marsh (Captain Burton's agent), complained to the Magis trate of a statement, purporting to be an account of what toot place at the office on Monday, which appeared in the Times of yesterday, and which he had ascertained was very incorrect, and cast upon him reflections which were not made at the office, anti which were calculated to do hint s vast deal of injury. He begged advice as to how he was to act. Mr. Hawlinson said he had no control over the reporters, or the public press, and if any newspaper published that which was In correct it was certainly amenable. Mr. Marsh said he could not account for the incorrectness of the Times report, as the reports in the British Press and other news papers were perfectly accurate. The Magistrates declined interference, and Mr. Marsh withdrew Lea•t.

To.day WWI the first seal, and the first d:ty of the Lord Chan. cellor's resuming his public avocations after the bag vaeatian. At half-past Otto o'clock his Lordship came into Court, and met a tolerably full bar, alt in apparent excellent health. SOOTH V. JACKSON. Mr. Harr said, this was a case which was mentioned a short time before the rising of the Court, and in which, during the va. cation, his Lordship had seat his opinion. Other aMlaf its than hail yet been before his Igndship *ere Bled, shich lie (Mr. IL) bad sot yet had thee to remit what he had, therefore. at, present to ask, war, that h e might have leave to read those affidavit* be tween this and the next seal, and that the case might then be allowed to be again mentioned, if he should consider, from such a perusal, bis. Lordship's order might in any way be retied. Alt. Hotta ¢ had nothing to say, but that it would be rather a singular'wey of going to work, if the order which his clients were in possession of was to be disturbed by any affidavits Mr. Hart's clients thought proper to make, provided their Counsel should think those affidavits could have such an efteet. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, this WaN one of the many briefs Ire had read while in the country, and upon which he had sent be opinion to one of the solicitors in the cause. It was his Lordship's opinion that that judgment, however imperfectly it might be ex. pressed Was dui judgment wkich, upon the state of the r ec ord as e :alb:afore him, it was uttetly impossible to avoid giving. Nl,' he thee any further affidavits should be looked at would depend upon what passed when the motion was again mentioned ; and for this purpose it was ordered to come on again et the next seal. DE BratiVOlß V. itironEs. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, Shia was a [Dist (though the cue was In a very 'hinder state to hura that nppellation) which appeared to him to benne of the most important causes he had ever had to deal with. He mentioned it at present with a view to amens lain whether he correctly understood it; and, as he understood is. It stood thus :—A. motion was made Wore Iris Honour the Vice. Chancellor to vagrant the digging of brick-earth ; it was such an order as. in effect, if granted, necessarily disposed of the whole case. The motion was made under these circumstances • a hill had been filed by Mr. De Beauvoir I it had been twice amended: three answers had been put in to it by Mr. Tibbott the elder, and two answers by the two younger 'l' abbot's: there were besides. when the motion came into the Court below, affidavits of thWerenc architects artth respect to the value of the property ; and so it then rested. His ilatour seemed to think, if those aflidavi!e were to be taken into consideration, the ease would, therefore, probably have been put into some course of inquiry before disposing of it ; but has judgment, in granting the injunction, proceeded entirely upon the construction of letters written between the 19th day of December. 1821, and the period that had since elapsed. In drat judgment not • singleallusion was made to anything but that correspondence. But, When a motion was made for an injunction, his Lordship had always considered the answers of defendants entitled to some cons'. deration from the Court; if r however, the observations that arose upon those letters were observations that were capable of replana. lion, and such as coul4 not be disturbed by any reasoning that could arise on the answer., then the case would have to icanaln as it was. The only additional evidence that was before this branch of the Court was affidavits on each side relating to the money agreed to be advanced by Mr. Rhodes. If his Lordship was right in these observations, and as to the papers that were before him, hi would be prepared tti give judgment this *Mc. NU NN I'. ACITTTER. The L.3nl , CHANCELLOR stated that this matter, of very eonli• derable imporance, he had, during his absenee from town, by occasional application and diligence. endeareured to dispose ot, but he had failed. All were agreed that, ih the :tate of the mat ter, as it came before his Lordship, it was absolutely necessary that some alteration in the order should be made. Some few days before the rising- of the COO ti the matter was discussed at coml. derable length by Messrs. Shadwell, Sugden, and some other gentlemen : upon which occasion his Lordship thought all eon. cerned had come to an understanding as to what the decree should be, but after that, Mr. Hart, who had not been in Court during the discussion, stated his dissatisfaction as to what had been done open that discussion, and produced minutes of what his clients thought the older ought to be.. His Lordship had looked most at tentively at those minutes, to know whether the Court could adopt them as its order, but it seemed impossible to adopt them until the other side had seen them ; because when that was done, it was pro bable that as much dissatisfaction would be expressed to them as Mr. Hart had expressed. What the Court could only now. therefore, do was, to desire the party aho had Instructed Mr. Hart to propose those minutes, to furnish a copy of them to the whet side ; and then, that the case should cOme on again, m be spoken ro by ohe Counsel en a side. ROSE D. MANNINO. • In this er.se it appeared. from Mr. Haar's statement, that before the vacation a motion had been made, on witieh an order was ob tained. calling upon Messes. Manning to pay into Court a sum of 4,0001., of which the Registrar took a note. Upon a subseqtier t occasion Mr. Horne, appearing for Messrs. Manning, just before the close of the sittings, stated that lie had something to state no their behalf; and the Court then said the money need not be paid until the first day of next Term. Mr. !fart now moved that the Registrar should be directed to draw tip the order fur the pay ment of the money into Court on the first day of Term. Mr. llowee declared that no such order had erer been pro. nounced. . . The Lotto CITAIFtELLOR said, this also was one of the cases the papers in which he had taken with him into the country. He had read them most eareftilly, and would, on the first day of Term. state what occurred to hint upon the whole of the case. Mr. Kos: wished to know whether his Lordship would inti. mate, in the mein time, that nothing had passed which ought to impede the regular effect of the order. Mr. HORNE again objected to its being said that any order had been pronounced. His Lortusiftr refused to say any thing more than he had now stated. A motion or two more were made, and the Court rose at bee minutes past one. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, TVESDAY, Nov. 1. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Bench this morning, but the Court rose early, without transacting any business of public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, TUESDAY, Nov. 1. BALL v. MILLAR. This was an action on a policy of assurance effected on the ship Aurora. The tennis of the policy were, "at and from Grenada to London. with leave to call at all or try of the West India Islands. except Jamaica and St. Domingo, with liberty to load and unload goods at any of the ports at which she might touch." The Aurora sailed from London with a cargo; she arrived at Grenada, touched at several places in the island to unload portions of her cargo, and was passing to Grenville Bay tun the purpose of delivering the rt. sidue and taking in a part of her homeward.bound cargo. She was lost in Grenville Bay. Mr. Justice Park, before whom the cause woe tried, told the Jury that this *as not a deviation, and they ac cordingly found a verdict for thi insurers. Mr. Sergeant Taddy, at the trial, tendered a hill of exceptions, which was argued this day, the only question being, whether 31r. Justice Park was right in his direction to the .lury. Mr. Sergeant TABBY now contended, on the part of the under. writers, that this was a deviation. The only question, he said, was whether the ship was within the risk insured by toe policy at am time she was lost? Ile relied principally on the ease of Sully ' Whitmore, 5 Barn. and Alders. 45, which was the case of a pones of insurance on a ship " Rom dull to any 10daiillg port in the Bahl, ,or the Gulf of Finland, with liberty to touch at any port for all ' purposes whatsoever." In this case. he said, the Courts held the words " for all purposes whatsoever," to be such purposes as were connected with the voyage insured. She sailed with a cargo, part of which she delivered at Elsinore, part at Dantaic, and was pro. reeding to Pillau to deliver the rest, but was lost before she got there. The underwriters were discharged, because, though Pilled was one of the ports at which the vessel was permitted to touch within the terms of the policy, yet it was not contemplated by the policy that she should call there for the purpose of unloading. She was not within the policy for this purpose; she wan not protected from the risks of delivering a cargo, but only from those of taking one in, wet the underwriters were held not to be liable. The Learned Sergeant cited also Inglis r. Vaux, 3 Camp. 437, to the same purpose. Upon these authorities, he contended that if the Aurora had been taken into Grenville Bay for the sole purpose of unloading, it would have been clearly a deviation. and could 11 make any difference that the Captain contemplated the double pun. pose of taking in also a part of his homeward cargo ? Mr. CAMPBELL, for the insurer*, said, that notwithstanding the confidence of his Learned Friend, he should contend, that even lithe Aurora had been going into Grenvillsßay for the soleyurpose of anloading, she would have been under the protection or the po licy. The words of the policy were." at and from Grenada to London ;" and the meaning of this wad, that the ship would be protected by the policy from the first Monsont of bet arrival at Grenada. In support of this position he cited the opinion of Lord Ilardwicke, as given in Sergeant Marshall's Book an Insurance, vol. 1, 261 (a book which he as benittcd most now be received as a book of authority), its which these woods are said to be the usual form of declaration, and to import that the tick begins on the arrival of the ship at the place specified. lie cited the cave of Campdeo a. Cowl.", which is given in Marshall's Book. Hem the insamate was—" at and from Jamaica to London." The ship had readied sport of Jamaica, had been safely is harbour for 24 Mori, consequently her outward policy had expired, and was alms weeds lost in coasting along tur the purpose of unloading her outward cargo ; and it was held that the underwtiters were liable. of T 3 tt i t h e r e i S i m e i: n a ra n ed n t t li . u r i d A r ge n s D J: ast;sehTo right.ct l t y e I p T l am i h ed e o . po t too lic i y nint — lia . t . theJliuctto Grenada to London, with Leave to touch at any of the West Indio islands. and call at any ports whatsoever snit wheresoever, without being deemed any deviation, or without prejsdlce to ehe policy." The words " at and troni" Grenada clearly intimate, that as soon as the ship has touched at any port of Grenada she is within the policy. This being so, it must now be taken as conceded. that at the um, Of her loss the strip was, as to time, within the policy. Theo it the I I
