This is had beep a question upon' the construction ora charter-

had snide the terms if the charter conditional upon the arrival
of another ship, the Grant, also ebattered by Mm at a certain port
in South America, within • specified time, from which the St.-Pa-

truth, which wesprorki,from London to ballast. In the charm--
party of the St, the charter
became void, if the Grant
should not attics'uyaqull It the time stipulated. The
Great did not arrive in time. She had been captured by Lord
Cochrane, and detained at Lima for a considerable time. War ar-
rived at Ouyaquil too late, and without a cargo.
The owners of the ti!. Patrick brought their action to recover from
the charterer an indemnity for the sum of 6,0001.
-The Loan Cuter Ju ST ICE at the trial put it to the Jury to
find whether the delay was occasioned through the fault of the Cap-
tain at the Grant, and directed them, if they thought that it was
lvd oreasioned by the fault of the Captain, to find their verdict for
the defendant.
The Jury found for the defendant.
_ _

Mr. ATTORNTY-GLNFIAL afterwards obtained a rule to shew
cause why a new trial should not be granted on the grounds of mis.
direction by his Lordship in point of law, and of the verdict being
contrary to the evidence.
Mr. 51CAILLVTT and Mr. PlAtoctc chewed cause. Non-arrival
must be non-arrival, for the purposes of the forage. The Giant
had arrived, but after the time specified, and after the St. Patrick
hid been chartered for another purpose, and sailed from Guyaquil.
Tbeyrratiso making the charter-party void on the non-arrital of
thOrant, came into operation. i
MI ATTSEY-GENE PAL and Mr. CAMTRELL argued that
the defendant became in law responsible for the arrival of the
Grant, and that there was improper delay on the part of the
Captain of the Grant, his 'errant, in stopping so loog at St.
Place.
Their Lordships, after tun statements of their views of the
suention, retuned a new trial.
