lie came to the coffee-hour, a second time, he
brought with him half a sheet of paper, freshly
written on, and signed by Atwood and Haynes, and
that flail was the real letter of orders. The first of

Was at Lloyd's Coffeeshouse on the 23J March ;
oil next Mr. Beverley. in the same box ; Mr. Ro-
binson eat opposite; Mr. Hunt came in asid ad
&reser' himself to Mr. Beverley; he first asked the
premium on a voyage from St. Domingo to Cordia-
l:ems ; Mr. Beverley, before giving an answer. re-
quested to know the particulars or the risk. as it
'his unusual for a British ship to sail for that port.
Mr. limit could not elate flints, but went away to
discover them ; at that time had no paper that he
saw : in about halt an hour he returned to the box
and laid half a sheet of paper before Mr. Beverley ;
the paper appeared to be freshly written on, and in
a light hand ; as well as he recollects, it consisted
of two paragraphs ; he read the paper, and rather
thinks there were names at the bottom ; witness
hinted to Mr. Beverley to ask Mr. Hunt whether
the yewl was not going out to the Royalist troops
then in poesession of Carthagena. Mr. Beverley
dial ask I ;to which he replied, "Oh yea ! opt
yrs ! lie well received, as they are in a state
of starvation." Beverley observed, " Very well ;
I'll write it if you give ate Ave guineas;' Mr. Hunt
esseined. and Mr. Beverley put down his amine for
3001.—[Here the letter from St. Domingo wad,

any thing like is ; witness put down his own initial

saw the letter from St. Domingo was, when it par-
eel from Mr. Hunt to Mr. Rubinson on the claim
of the loss, three or four mouths afterwards; when
tole policy was executed, he understood from the
news of the slay that Carthagena had fallen into
the hands of the Royalists.
Cross.exambeed by Mr. SCAILIITT.
When Mr. Hunt first came there was a convey.
elation about Carthegena having been taken by the
Royalists ; is unable to say who started that sub.
kci ; the two paragraphs contained on account of
the ship, cargo, and freight ; Cie reason of his KN.
colletting the particulars so well is, because the loss
was talked of the June after, and there was a dif-
ference between she representation sod the protest.
To a Juryman—Mr. Hunt made no difficulty of
producing the letter from St. Domingo after claim.
tug the loss.
J. Robinson crainised by Mr. VAUGHAN.
Is the last underwriter to the policy ; was in the
box when Mr. Hunt presented himself to have the
policy effected ; cannot repeat the exact words of
the conversation that followed; it was observed (he
thinks I". Mr. Beverley) that the Royalists were in
poseession of Carthagena ; the principal coinierso-
lion was between Mr. Beverley and Mr. Hunt ;
witness took no part in it ; it was understood by
every one in the box that Carthitgetia had been
taken by the Royalists, and that the vessel was
going out to their supply ; the latter was said in
Mr. Hunt's presence : recollects hearing him soy
the Royalists were io great want of provisious.
After the lope was ascertained, Mr. Hurt came
two or three times before be made any claim of
it ; when lie did make a demand, he brought the
protest; witness read the protest ; believes it was
read by all the writers; witness suggested to Mr.
Beverley that it would be proper to see the letter
of orders from the West Indies; Mr. Hunt said
he had no letter of oidus; Mr. Beverley insisted
some letter had been sheen at the time the insurance
was effected ; Mr. Hunt answered, if there had. it
must have been a letter from Atwood and atenes.
that lie hid bud no letter from the West Indira ; he
wrist for it : came next day, and said he could not
find any letter, that probably the orders to him were
verbal ; Mr. Beverley repeated that some written
liver had been produced by him to the writers,
and that whatever it was they should see it ; two or
three day% after he brought the letter of Atwood
mid Haynes; wittiest read it; will not take upon
himself to say that that letter was not produced at
the time of effecting the insurance, but he never
saw it till after the hies; there was some paper lying
un the table while Mr. Hunt was in the boa.

Benjamin Blades examined by Mr. TOPPING.
IS au underwriter to the policy in question ; has
ceased to be one, and cannot speak accurately as to
facts; it was stated by somebody, and not contra-
dicted by Ilunt, that the vessel was going to the
supply of the Royalists.
Mr. Lloyd mistimed by Mr. VAUGH•N.
Is the first underwriter to the policy; asked Mr.
Hunt, was he aware that Carthagena was in the
hands of the Royalists? who replied, that he was
perfectly_ well aware of it ; asked him if his partners
in the West Indies were aware of the circumstance?
he answered, they were, and that they had freighted
the vessel with provisions ttyrevily for the use of
the Royalist army. .
