This was an aOion brought by the Plaintiff, as
representative of a blercatrile House in Naplrs,
which had obtained a Policy of Insurance on their
vessel, the Co/sue/ie, on a voyage to London, fictn
the Defendant and others. In consequence of ti .e
vessel springing a leak, sh: foundeted in the Me-
Jaen anean. the owners had, of course, applied to
the Underwriters for payment, which they refused.
The defence set up by the Counsel for the Un•
derwriter was, that the Owners had insured tie
vessel considerably above her real value, wish intent
to defraud the Defendant ; .inJ that the Captain had
been access:try to siols'ng the vessel, knowing that
she was thus insured beyond her 'aloe ; this th-y
endeavoured to prove, by producing her ihstuice,
which appeared to be 40401 under the sum insured.
It also appeared, the Policy was made out not in the
name of the teal owners, at Naples, but in that of
the former Captain, :a native of Malta. by those
means they expelled to screen themselves irons
public exposure, should the fraud be discovered.
Though this circumstance, the Learned hurt
observed, was in itself of rather a suspicious na ores
yet, as there was no satisfadoty proof of such
fraudulent intention in the owners of the vessel, the
Jury found a eereiO for the Plaintiff.
