l'; • COURT OF KING'S BEileti, APRIL 134
itoieNtTS v. OLovOt.
,this Was an action on a policy of insurance oil the
ship .Earl Bathurst, at and• from Liverpool to Pensa-
i stria and New Orleans.. The vessel arrived at Pensa-
I cola ou the lith ttf September. There had prev..
ously been an embargo upon British ships in the port
• of New Orleans, and the Captain, previous to procee-
; dingo there, dispatched a cutter with a letter to his
Consignees at that place, desiring to know if the em.
tarp Was taken off, and if he ttiight proceed to that
port in safety ? •Wbilst waiting for art answer to his
letter, namely, on the 11th of October, a, violent hut.
titane came on, and the Earl Bathurst was lost.--
, The underwriters now resisted plyment, on the
• grounds of this stay in the port of Pensacola being a
deviation, there being no permission in the policy to
wait for orders. On the other hand, the plaintiff con-
tended, this was no waiting t'or orders, but merely an
act cf the Captain, to ascertain whether there was a
possibility of her proceeding to New Orleans ? and as
1 a proof of it, :he Captain state.., :hat he was told,
pseviout to sailing km Liverpool, that New Or.
leans was to be his poie of delivery ; and that if, on
his arrival at Pensacola, he should find the embargo
taken off, he was to proceed to New Orleans, not
paying attention to any thing which might be said to
the contrary by any person at Pensacola.
Lord guAsgoitouGil, in his summing up to the
• Jury, stated his opinion that this was nii waiting for
otdars, but a mere prudential step on the part of the
Captain, to ascertain whether he could enter the port
of New Orleans. The only question for the Jury to
consider was, whether the delay in the port of Pensa-
cola was greater than was necessary to ascertain that
tact ? It, in their opinion, it was greater than ne-
was a deviation ; if' it was only a reason.
it came within the toms of the policy,
tad was entitled to iecuver.—Verdict fur
