LAW lAYELLIGENCE.

'COURT OP KING'S BLNCH, JULY
SHAW V. FELTON.

This was an int-mance caufe; the (hip on which
the policy was effeacd failed from Liverpool in
Atiguft 1799. A few days after the got out to
fea the made near 20 inches water an hour, and it
was neceffiry to pump her every watch. She pro-
ceeded,
however, well enough to the Coaft of
Africa; was there caulked, and took in a cargo of
flaws. She then flretched ofer the Atlantic for
Demarara, and for 22 days her voyage was prof.'
perous. On the 2sd about noon, when the wea-
ther was moderate, and the was not going above
-four knots, there came a (hock of an earthquake.
The Captain was fitting writing in his cabin, and
it fecmed to him as if the velTel hat been palling
over a reef of coral,rocks. The concuflion was
dreadful, thy guns were thrown from their places,
and the negroes. were knocked againft each other.
This Lifted for about twenty feconds. Immedi-
ately after the leak encrcafed to the moil alarm-
ing degree, and. it was only by keeping the pumps
conflaatly at work, and making the naves take
their turn at them, that the (hip could be kept
above water. At lag fhe made Dcmaraia, but
in fuch a Rate, that the Captain did not reckon it
fare to moor her. He therefore lathed her to an
bld hulk, and landed her cargo. She then un-
derwent a furvey, and it was the opinion of the
furveyors .that fhe ought to be run afhore and
heated down. The attempt was accordingly
made,. but (be had not moved many yards from
her fituation, before the went to the bottom.
Two, grounds of defence were intended to have ,I
been rebel upon—fir% that the (hip was not fee-
worthy, and fecondly, that (he had been twenty-
four hours fafely moored in the port of delivery.
After a very able examination, however, of the
Captain by Mr. ERSKINE, both of thefe were
abandoned, and Mr. Giles, the defendant'sconn-
fel, limited hinifelf to an attempt to pare down
tribe damages. In doing. this he had to
a formidable obßacle,as awes a valued POACY, 44
!hip and fibres being taken at 6,20;d. However,
it appeared that the owners had ordered the Cap.
. fain to fell the veffel in the Welt Iprites if he cotild
. get J cool.;,-and as aspOlity of infnr*rtec ismerpty'
a contraft of indeumity, he contended thal,they

Testing fail, ndf tbat if (be had been 101 l on et-
_ voyage to Africa, the miners Would have been en-
titled-0 the ruin mentioned in the policy. BO
before the went down,, her flora were nearly ex-
ended, the wear and tcar of every thing was

, and the had yielded the full profits oilier ad-
nture. 'He only meant to extend this principle
to African voyages, which were completely Ai

Lord Kura)! !aid, that the valusjoa- did net
etbfointely conclude the parties; if it could be
proved to have been exorbitant, it ought to be get
Ode. But regard was to be had to the value of
the (hip ,when /he broke ground.—This was the
Bra time that he had heard a contrary dodtrine
Maintained; and he could not allow this great
bead of this law, after bang once efiAbligitediagfit .
. to be get afloat. An endlefs fource of litigation
would be opened, if it were competent to an Un-
der Writer to diminifh the firm to be paid the a
fured, by proving that before the (hip Was wre4ed,
a fail had been (ph; ora cable gnawed in two.
The Jury' immediately found !Or the Plaiatilf
up to the:full amount ofhis demand. ' ' '

The evidence of the efficacy of PaMUSS'S
TRACTORS, of late the fnbjedaf Co much canto-
verfy and fpeculation' is at length confidered as I
decifive ; and medical charafters of high reputa-
tion are now recommending their ufe. The idea
entertained by Come that their good tikes were
afcribable to imagination is proved to be erroneous,
fince tbey-are found to cure infants and horfes as
readily as any other fubjeils. Indeed. the utility
of the l'raiaors, as a remedy for infolned eyes,
(pronto, contufions, and confequently lam=te4 of
honks, is now fo well ellablithcil that they are ra-
pidly adopting in Gentlemen's Liable% Among.
