SASSEMAN V. kINGSTON.

This was all: aCtllll.l ei) recov,:r from the under-
writers the value of ship and cargo, bound to
Pi and seized by-the Prussian Government.
There was ,t proviso in the policy, protecting the
underwriters against hostile seizure by the Go-
vernment in the port of discharge; and the only
question was, whether the vessel, at the time of
capture, was in the port of
The mate of the ship swore the ship was an-
chored two German (nine English) miles front
the shore ; the Captain took the boat to go and
see what was the condition of things in.the har-
bour ; menu time a boat came front the shore
with 30 soldiers and a pilot, who took possession
of the, ship and goods. Previous to this a consi-
derable portion of the goods had been taken out'
to lighten the vessel', and enable ker to go over
the bar.

Mr, Serjeant LENS contended, that the „real
object of the policy was, to protect the Under-
writers, not merely from seizure in purt, but from
any seizure- by the Government, which, at that
time, might be compelled to seize a neutral vessel
in spite of its own friendly dispositio:). It this
liberal construction Fliou id not be alloived, he
contended that the ship was- virtually in tke
port of dischaege, as it had begun to unload its
cargo.

Sir .T. MANSFIELD was clearly of opinion, that
the Underwriters could only he saved tly a capture
in the port of discharge, which had not been
proved. The goods which were taken out, were
evidently removed only for the purpose of lighten-
ing the vessel, and not with the intent of un-
loading._

T!►e Jury immediately found a vediet for the
plaintiff, 4;761.

The Counsel for thz! defendant wished to have a
special verdict, to raise the questj,on, whether,
under the circumstances, the vessel !night not be

Court said there was no pretence for such a ques-
tion.
