BARRY e. PRATT.
This was an action on two policies of insurance, on We ship
William and .Nary, at and from Rio Janeiro, to Monte Video,
Valparaiko, in the SonthiSesa, and thence to Europe. The
ship sailed to Monte Video, and performed her voyage to
Valparaiso, where she took in • cargo of copper. After she
sailed with her ladinz, she encountered bail weather, and was
euinpelled to return in a shattered state to Valparaiso. The
Captain then had the ship repaired, and the owners sought
now to recover a partial loss.
*lt was contended oo the part of the Underwriters, that the
ship was not sea-worthy. Der construction-was said to be too
weak to carry a cargo of copper. Upon a survey, the keelson
was found started, and other damage done, which was said to
be occasioned by the pressure of the copper. The plaintiff
met the Cale on the pan of the Underwriters, by proving that
the ship's inability to return to England was the result of
her bad state and condition when she sailed front Rio Janeiro.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.- Damages 4001.
