COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 14.

V. 111611114 V. GOI:DON AND ANoTilElt.

.I'his. was an action by Mr. John Taylor Vaughan,
of Lloyd's Coffee-house, to recover from the defen-I
. dantS the balance of his account fir premiums.
. It appeareJ, that the voyages underwritten by the
. plaintiff were illegal voyages, and that the licences
. upon which- they were undertaken were illegal . also,
as contravening the Navigation Act, andonot being,
authorized by the 45th of the King.
. The defendants resisted the payment of thesepre-
minnh, because the plaintiff' had availed himself of
.the illegality of one of the licences in question, to ex-
cuse himself from paying a fair loss upon the ship
Neutrality after. ail the underwriters, except him-
self lnd two or three others, had paid it.

• Thl AtTORNitY GeNERAL remarked upon the un-
fair of the plaintiff's conduct, in endeavouring to
ric -ver premiums for such risks as he declined to pay
a,1,,,a.0pcm,..He said, •he -apprehended Mr. Vaughan
,wa; a. very unjust man, reaping where he had not
pows'n, and gathering where he had not strewed. He
toot that to be a correct representation of an Under-
writer, who wanted to get his premiums, and who
would not pay his losses. .
Mr. Vaughan had put a great deal of money into Isis
pocket, in the shape of premiums, for insuring risks
for• Messrs. Gordon and Murphy, who had carrie
on the trade'of sending out manufactures from this
eountry to South America, and bringing home the'
prod'►ce Of South America to England. But that.
could only be done by licences.. There had been trials,
and Mr. Vai.ighan had been refusing payment, avail-
ing himself of the illegality of one of those licences.
—lt was not until the ship Neutrality was lost,
that Mr. Vaughan-was called upon to pay any thing,
and then he became squeamish and sick, ,4 exceed-
ingly ;irk, even- unto death." Then, for the first
time, he discovered, that it was illegal for a sub-
ject of this country to export goods to an enemy's
country, and to import from that country into
-Great Britain. He found out that the King could
not grAnt licences so as to disturb the Navigation
Act; and that he was a very wicked mum, who
. en l.:►vv'med to violate that Act. Mr. Taylor
Vaughan, no doubt, prayed for the preservation of
the Navigation Act, every Sunday when he went to
church, because it saved him a great deal of motley.
• He had no objection to take the premiums, but he
- . Vat too conscientious to commit the sin of paying the
..Idss on the Neutrality, though it had been commuted
• kr all the underwriters co the *policy, except Mr.
