gether with those of their predecessors, during a period of more
than 100 years, the system of underwriting has been fostered and
improved beyond that of any other country, if Joint Stock Com-
panies or Partnerships be now authorized to effect Marine In-

MCM of the gertseat eldMs of the public, operate as an injurious re-

that system which has produced so much benefit to the commercial
