IN THE OILY GAOL.

About a fortnight since a woman, named Margart t

in company with a soldier of the 47th Regiment, both
parties being of known bad character. On Sunday
Lynch was delivered of a child, which she smothered
next night in the cell, and threw erred to " brain"

CORN EXCHANGE.

Our arrivals this weea have been moderate, and
as ade :sand from the. interior continues to increase
our stock of bread stuffs is much reduced,
and prices exhibit a . strong upward tendency.
This day's market was well attended, and
holders commenced by demanding higher prices than
were actually realised. We note, however, an advance
in wheat of 25., oats Is., and barley Is. 61. since last
Friday; while for Indian- corn 6s. to Bs. more money
was paid. Corn meal is fully 3s. dearer, peas 25., and
beans about Is. The sale of flour is improved, sacks
and barrels being 2s. and 3d. reinctively higher. Oat-
meal without change. Coarse flour meets inquiry.
Starch extremely scarce, and high rates demanded.

RECENT DiSCOVERIES IN
AUSTRALIA.
In our last we reported the return of his Excellency
the Lieutenant-Governer and suite from a voya 4e to
the head of Spencer's Gulf We are now enabled to
give some particulars of an examination of the
various harbours in that gulf which have hitherto
been only partially known to the public, and the
discovery, if we may so call it, of a new harbour
situated close to Mount Remarkable, in which the
largest ships can lord and discharge in perfect secu-
rity. Atter a careful examination of Port Germain
in lat. 33 3, it was ascertained that that• harbour is
not only very difficult of access but is not available
for shipping drawing more than 12 feet water. Port
Ferguson, also, did not appear to be available for large
ships ; but it was found . that that portion of the gulf
immediately north of Point Lowly, lat. 32, long. 57,
extending to the latitude of Mount Remarkable,
32 43, contains a fine harbour with a depth of
from four to seven fathoms. It is sheltered on the
south by.a sand bank, which runs from the point (not
named) opposite Point Lowly, and close to the latter
point there la a chinnel of seven fathoms leading into
the harbour, to which therefore there is an easy ac-
cess. On the west side of the Gulf, near Point Lowly,
the depth of this harbour is seven fathoms, and it
shoals gradually towards a sandy beach on the eastern
side, distant fifteen miles from Mount Remarkable.
At one mile and a half from the shore, there
is an excellent well-protected anchorage in
four fathoms water. The land close by the Gulf at
this part was traversed by .Mr. Lyre in 1839. From
his report we should consider it a country favourable
for land carriage. On the Mount Remarkable range
the prevailing rock is a very hard white sandstone;
on the west coast a coarse red sandstone prevails.
The Governor was of opinion, from the nature of the
country, that the range of mountains, as fir as Mount
Arden, abounds in minerals.— From the South Austra-
lian, Dec. 8.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 24.

POLICY OF INSURANCE ON A SHIP.-BOYD V. THE ROYAL

EXCHANGE INSURANCE COMPANY.

This partly heard case was resumed this afternoon;
and the remainder of the depositions taken in the colony
and at the trial having b?en read,
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER (who with the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL appeared for the defendants) proceeded to
show cense against a rule which had bet n obtained
by his Learned Friend Mr. Sergeant Shee, which
called upon the defendants to show cause
why the verdict which they had obtained should not be
set aside anl a new trial had, on the ground of the re-
jection of evidence, misdirection by the Learned Judge,
and that the verdict was contrary to the evidence ad-
du, ed at the trial. Ile said the action was brought upon
a time policy upon a ship called the Seahorse, Atom the
28th February, 1843, to the 27th of August in the same
year. It was a value policy upon the ship for 11.2501.,
and upon the machinery, which was valued at the same
amount, making a total of 22,50001. The pleas were—in
the first place, the payment of 1,250/. into Court,
and 251. per cent. upon the value of the ship, pleading, at
the same time, that as to the residue the plaintiffs ha I
broken their covenant ; 5.6251. was paid by the under-
writers, and the whole amount paid upon the policy was
8,437/ ; but the plaintiff contended that there had been
a total loss of the ship, and that he was entitled to re
ceive the whole amount for which the ship was in-
sured. The vessel was a trader between Van
Diemen's Land and New South Wales. On the 6th
of June, 1843, being within the period mentioned in the
policy. She was proceeding on a voyage from Launces-
ton, in Van Diemen's Land, to Sidney, in Now South
Wales. She had proceeded down the river Temur as
tar as George-town, where she came to anchor.
She soon after weighed anchor, but had not pro-
ceeded far down the river when an ebb tide
took her, cast her upon shore, and threw her
upon her starboard "bilge," by which she was consider-
ably strained ; but when the tide flowed, and as there
had-been fine weather during the whole time she was
aground, she was got off without any assistance—with-
out even removing her deck load. After some
trifling repairs to her machinery, and after some
oakum had been put into the seams which had
started, she sailed on the 9:11 of June from
George. town to Sidney, where she arrived after a
voyage of three days, or three days and a half,
the ordinary passage being completed in three days; but
she took in coals on her way, and, consequently, s'
delay took place. On her arrival at Sidney on the 13th.
of June, there was a protest made; and on the 15th of,
June a survey was made, which was not, however, at
tended by the captain, by the mate, carpenter, or
' engineer of the vessel, and upon that survey
the owners determined upon abandoning the vessel
the next day—namely, the 16th of June, and a letter to
that effect WU3 transmitted by him to the under-
writers, and claiming the full amount of the pace.
The protest was extended to the 28th of June, to that
this was due twelve days before the expiration of
. that period. After the survey, the vessel remained
in the possession of Mr. Boyd fur two years,
during which time he entertained a number of his friends
on board; but no means were taken to ascertain the real
nature of the injuries she had received. Under these
circumstances the plaintiff came before a jury, chiming
the value of the policy as for a total toss; but the jury,

after hearing the case of the plaintiff (no witnesses
were examined on the part .of the defendant).
and the case lasted . the greater part of two days, found
a verdict for the defendants, on the ground that there
was not a total loss, and • that the plaintiff .could not
recover the whole amouut of the policy. • 1-li3 learned
Friend contended that the evidence rejected consisted
in the 10th and 11th interrogatories, and that :their
admission was most important ; but it appeared that he
adopted the 11th for the 10th by mistake, which was to
this effect—Was it practicable to heave down the bottom
of the vessel at y dney, in order, to ascertain whether
she was in a fit state to proceed on her voyage ? He
admitted that this interrogatory was rejected, but it w,,s
re,jectedbecause it was not asked from a person who could

treat it in a scientific: manner, and because it wds an in.

portaut question, on which it was the province of the
jury to decide, and that their minds ought not to lave
then biased by having it answered. The Learnei Gen-
tlernan: here quoted a number of cases .to show that this
. view had in.en - taken by the. Courts with reference to
que:tions of this kind. Then with respect to the allegtd
misdirection of the Learned Jinlge (Lord I)ehh),h) who
tried the ca,e. Here i,is Learned Friend had fallen into
an:extraordinary error as to the proposition which ha
(Sir:Frederick Thesiger) was alleged to have maintain, (I,
anti which his
,Lordship was supposed to .bas e adopted.
That where,a person abandoned a vessel hastily, after
injury to it, anti without examination, and brou;4lt, his
action, and showed upon the trial that. the vessel was in
such a state, or that the eircumstances of the place were
such that she could not be repaired, except at an tx•
pence which would have exceeded her value, that the
assured was not entitled to recover in co nseqncnce
having abandoned her hastily. The-short hand writer's
notes would show that he did not make the proposition
in this way, and that his Lordship did not adopt it.
What be said was this—that those cases of censtructhe
total loss upon the value of policies were eases wh.ch
required to be strictly and narrowly watched—that
where the parties had the opportunity of ascer-
taiiiing the real nature of the injury the vessel had
sustained, that it was their bounden, duty to adopt those
means to ascertain the nature of those injuries ; and that
they had t.o right to speculate in the matter, and to come
before the jury with a speculative case. These were the
words he used, and the whole- burden of his argument
was, that it was the duty of the plaintiff to use every
means in his power to inform the jury of the real nature
or the injuries ; and that in-this case, that nothing had
been dune by him, and that the case he presented to the
jury rested merely upon speculation ; and th,t the ves•
sel, at the moment the trial was proceeding, might have
been perfectly sea-worthy. This wai a fair and proper
way to put the case, because it was the duty of the pl4in-
tiff to show this to the satisfaction of the jury, and he con-
ceived that their Lordships would be of the same opinion.
Then with respect to the other point--that the verdict
was contrary to the evidence. Let their Lordships hear
in wind that the wh,.le of the evidence on which the jury

decided was adduced by the plaintiff, and that the jury
was a .I),!cial one, and there was no hurry, no cursory
view taken of the case by which the jury might possibly
have been misled. -Their Lordships knew how d►fficult
it was for underwriters to obtain a verdict, and they
must also see how strong a case must have been pre-
sented to the jury to have induced them to decide in the
way they did. His Lordship did not express himself
dissatisfied with the verdict, and now the plaintiff came
forward and sought them 'to revise their verdict.
Lord DENitiN.L-We wid heir the arguments of
.the
ether side on the -point, and-if we are not satisfied we
will call upon you to resume. •
Sir F. THEIdEIt said his arguments were, therefore,
at an end. _ _ _ .

Mr. WILDE Followed on the'sozne side, and reiterated
the main arguments of Sir Frederick Thesiger. He
dwelt p!,rticularly upon the sudden abandonment of the
ship.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE then proceeded to address the
Court in support of the rule. I-le said the rul4to which
he referred, and the rejection of which he con,idercd
most important for the plaintiff, was to the fidlowing
effect :—What do you think would have been the best
thing to have done with a tiew to the interest of the
assurers and the assured, considering the state of tile
vessel and her machinery at the time in cpirAion ?
was true there was not a total loss of the stop in t!.e
comraonintcrpr;ta knot the word, because she was visible
to the eye; out the great important questions werv,
was or was not the vs es. 1, a total wreck, utterly value-
less from the want of Proper merits for rer repair
Sydney; or if th, ye were, would or would not the cx •
p,nse, have been greatrr than her value? Was t..ere
sofficit,nt dock roars there? \Vvs there a mitoufactory
in which a cylinder such as the one bruken could be
made? Was there a " patent slip?" and could or could
not a " hogged" ship procei el safely to some in ighbour-
ing port where all her repairs could have been done?
Could she'safely heve,undergone a voyage to Bombay?
It tees therefore quite imposi.ible for the jury to futon a
correct opinion upon all these questions unless this ques-
tion were asked und replied 'to. EVery one of the cir-
cumstances to which the attention of the jury was neces-
sarily directed partook of a scientific nature; and it was
quite impossible that they could form a correct opinion
without the evidence of competent persons in the
matter on which they were called upon to decide.
It was not sufficient to say that a number of questions had
been asked of other witnesses, and that the jury had an
ample opportunity of arriving at a clear and decided
opinion, tromahe evidence adduced, and it was the duty
Of , the defendants to show that the question was one
which was improper. This they had clearly failed to
do, because it was just possible that they might have
learned from the question that the ship might have
been economically and satisfactorily repaired at a
neighbouring port. Then with respect to the misdirec-
tion of the Learned Judge—abandonment of a vessel
consisted in writing a letter to the assurers, and they had
done nothing more in this case ; they had acted fairly,
and honourably, and had afforded the agents of the As-
surance Company un opportunity of surveying the ship,
and of ascertateing v.hether the survey of the owners
was correct. Formerly, persons could not abandon a
ship soon enough, and the Learned Sergeant
cited cases to show that ships had been
abandoned immediately after the survey. The
survey was made by the Port Master. Lloyd's agent,
the agent of the Australian Bank, and others, and
abandonment having been decided upon, she was ac-
cordingly abandoned next day; therefore it could not be
said that the plaintiff acted precipitately or impru-
dently, and that he had not done all that it was his
duty to do under the circumstances; and an opinion of
that kind, from one in the high poeeion of the Noble
Lord could not fail to prejudice the jury against the
plaintiff. The Noble Lord left it to the jury to say
whether the plaintiff had or had not acted pru-
dently, and the jury in the face of the most
of the evidence of competent parties, that the plaintiff
had acted fairly and prudently, decided against him..
The Learned Counsel then addressed himself to the
third point, 'namely, that the verdict was against the
evidence and referred to an abstract of the evidence of
the different witnesses, who agreed in stating that there
was no dry dock at the place, that the patent slip there
was too small for her, that a new cylinder could not be
cast for her in the colony, and that it would have cost
16,0001. to have ascertained her injuries and to have
conveyed her to the nearest place where she could be
repaired. It appeared, further, that the accident had
corrugated her copper; and completely altered her build.
Then the defendants hail sent out a commission to the
colony, anti hal had an ample epportnnity of investigat-
itee the corditi,n of the ship.; rtviel,.:n.cc rad been taken

by them.- .
Mr. W. ILDE said they bad seen. no..p.Vidence.
ISIr. Sergeant- SUEZ Said it was unlikely that they
would have paid 6,500/. into court, unless they believed
that the ship had sustained some serious injuries. He

submitted, on these grounds, thcq the rule should
,b,
made abso.
At the cluteonclusion of the Learned tiergeant's case, the?
Court rose, on the understanding thit. the further a
.rgw-
meats should be resumed and complex4ed t°"ll2l3ll.°w
