LAC! REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, IslAy

CLARKE V. WESTMORE.

This was an- ataion,. upon a Policy of Insurance
against fiTe, on the Ship Thero, for one calendar
month. . _

The ship in question was a vessel taken from the
French; and brought into the Harbour of Ports-
Mouth. The insurance was made on behalf of the
captors, and the policy under-written upon the
terms that the ship, should be safe moored in 013
harbour of Portsmouth during the period for which
the insurance was made. It appeared that the ship
was' accidentally burnt within that time, and the
salon was brought for au average loss. Upon the
evidence it came out, that the ship in question was
:first moored off the beach, in order to clear her bot-
tom ; she was then removed to Hardway ; and,
lastly, was moored at March's wharf, in order the
more conveniently to take in her cargo; but she had
never been taken out of the harbour.
' From this the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the part'
of the Underwriters, contended, that it was a mate-
riar question, whether the removing the vessel from
her moorings at one place to the other was not a
discontinharice of therisk ? and whether the laying'
her down on the beach, to clear her bottom, was
such a risk as, by this, policy, made the Under-
writers liable
Lord ELLENDOROUGII thought, that where a ves-
sel was only removed from one part of the harbour
to the other, for the more convenient purpose of
repairs, or of taking in her cargo, 'provided she did
not go beyond the bounds of the harbour specified,
and appeared to be safely moored at the.different
parts of the harbour, whence she had been. so re-
moved, according to the policy, it .was not such au
aft as could void the policy.
Theitjury accordingly found' a verdict of 43.1.
3s. rid. for the Plaintiff.

BATTS AND ()TI BBS V. GRIFFITHS.

This was an anion to', recover the sum of 21.01.
advanced by the Plaintiffs to the Defendant.
The Plaintiffs were formerly Bankers at Whit-
ney, and the Defendant had been their principal
and managing clerk, at a stipulated salary of 2001.
per annum. In 'consequence of some disagreement
between these parties,, the Defendant was dismissed,
and had possessed, himself of the sum in question, on
the grounds of there being auagreemeht between
him and the Plaintiffs, for the space of five years ;
that they had no right to dismiss him until the end
of that ierni ; and having done so, he was authoriz-
ed in detaining that sum, being the balance which'
would be due to him in 06tober next, at which
period the agreement tern)luatetl. The necessary
proofs bt,ing made by Mr. Leake, in his cross exa-
mination by Mr. GARROW, for the Defendant, it
came out, that two of the Plaintiffs ,vteresurgeons
and apothecaries, and the third a Gentleman of
property. The two former still continued to prac-
tise their profession. The Learned Counsel was
proceeding to regret the death of Mr. Sherley, a ma-
terial witness, he said, for his Client, when Lord
ELLENBOROUthi observed, « How can you claim
your salary by anticipation
Mr. GARROW.—" We certainly have no remedy
now here, my Lord, we must only give these apo-.
thecaries an emetic in a Court of Equity."—Verdid
