COURT.OIr ,KING'S 131'si7Cii;'FaiDAY; MAY 8.
IN ac*Which-ariie on for the epipion of the
Court upon, `a Policy of insurance upon. Property 'in
1 Foreign Ship; An argunidiCt of some length antli.
gr.pt ability took' pl e:7; supported by Mr,. Gt ics
the one part, and Alt; PuLLEA on the other.—
question Was upon the form of Pleading.
that the ground of his objolion
to the, Declaration was, thit it was seeking_ to 're-
cover bra loss Upon a Policy of Insurance without •
stating. wild. had Sustained tfilt loss; who was in-
terested in the-property insured, or for whose .be,
nefit the Adionwas brought ; and the form of the
Declaration cc as adopted with a design of takine
the opinion of the Court; whether such an Adiu'Az,:x_,:_,
could be, supported.? This point was ct,rtainly cota.t2
sidered in the Coe. of Crawford and Hunter ;'but
the consequence of the determination of that .Case
in the way it was determined, had not 'wen fully
stated to .their Lordships ; the deciding" rh t such •
an Adion as this 'Might be supported without proof
of interest in the Assured, would be prottuaiver
many and very great inConVeniencies. One half of -!•
the Policies of Insurance on goods were on those that
were shipped in.FoteigitShips; and the Case pow,
fore the Cpurt Was therefore extremely import:int,
111(1 the Under-writers .were very anxious to know,

..Vbether these insurances were to be considered as in.
ic rest, or whether they might be considered as Insur.
ances Wholly unconneeted with interest, because very. .•
different consequences would result as that point was.:
de tertnined—iine way or the-ot her.. The whole of the
under,writing upon:inStirance upon property of this,
4ind had. been transatied'Upon: the idea of Interest
being proVed ; so much .So, that part of the Premium ;
llad been, returned upon. short Interest appearing., •
He then proceeded 'to argue, that the Assured •not , -
only ought to have an interest in the. pr3perty he r
insures in a foreign ship, bit that- he, ough(to State
that interest in his declaration, because-if 'he did
not, the Under-writer cciuld.not know who the real .
party wasiir the anion, because it
.might be 'car.
ried on in the, name .of, the Agent, and. if the real,
party interested was ,not _disclosed
.on the ,'record,
it could not .be known until the Jrial, so that the
Underwriter would not know bow to. shape his
Defence, and this,' he contended, was a hardship`=
because the under.writer might possibly .hay4;*-4,„',
claim on the real Plaintiff, which he might been.
titled to setoff', is an answer to the anion, of wl-34111.-:,, •
he was deprived,' if the name of the party interesteddid not appear upon the record. He argues{ on these
and many other points, of,which, ar present, we are
unable to give a sketch. He concluded with
mitting that the-. Derendant was entitled--to the
judgment of the Court..
Mr, Pulit. tut argued very ably on the other side,

and contended, that in the case of a Policy of in.. i.
surance of Goods in a Foreign Ship, it was not only
not necessary to prove the interest of the A.stirkd at
The trial, but unnecessary .even to state it in the
Declaration ; -and in support of this, he quoted the ,
case of Crawford and Hunter, as a case in point. i
—lt is in the Eight Term Reports, page 23.—He
quoted Several other authorities to the same-effect,
and maintaicad, that before the Aft of the 19th. of.
CsEo. II; Policies of Insurance on, Property even in
English Ships of all kinds,, might he entered into ; '
but that Statute had prohibited such Policies of ,In
surance as might be deemed Wager or Gaming Po-
licies, the operation hqweveri of that ,Ad, was
confined solely. to
.Property in Engli;jl Ships, conse-
quently the Law, as it regarded Insurance of Pro-
perty in Foreign. Ships, rerrctined the same as if
that Statute bad never past. By the Law, before
the.passing of that Aa, there was_no necessity that
interest should be proved, -or stated, as the De-
fendant insisted in this dtiOn ; and therefore, the
Plaintiff; in this me, was intitled to judgment.
This we give only as a sketch: of the que4tion, not
prolessirig to enter on the arguments by which,
either of these, t'wo Lari,:.l Gentlemen supported
his.Clienes case, but of .which we may. hereafter.

give a lesi-defeetive account.
La. rd.K,;,.NYoir desired' the'ese so 'staid over fcr
further argument.,At present, • his
.Lordihip
he did not understand how it, was possible ta.
hold of any doubt upon, he question. It hadill*.eifL'
ably argued on both sides, hut still he„wished
that it might stand ovet,—The CAse stood oVetir-t
accordingly.

' Mr. BEVA.N said,' that the Defendant ,stood
charged with perjuiy.; and was rentkred by his bail;'
he therefore.mored, that 'he be now charged- withr

The Cobh then proceeded upon new. trials, in.
which no point of public interest occur►ed.
