COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 23.
JAMES lIILL v. RUEITIDGE AND co.
This was an action brought by the charterers of a.,
vessel to Riga, engaging to deliver from thence to
the def cndaiii s, a cargo of 70 tons of Riga rine (or
clean) hemp, at 121°5 a ton, for the loss sustained by I
the plaintiff's selling that hemp at £59 per ton, in
consequence of the refusal of the defendants to ac-
cept the commodity.
The contract was made in April, 1809, and the
ship did not come home till July, 1810 ; whereas it
Was proved by the Captain of the skip, whom the de.'
fendant called, that there was unnecessary delay in
loading the ship with the hemp, and that if his vessel
had been supplied as other ships were, he might have
got home with the greatest ease before the winter set
in, and thus the defendants would have had the hemp
to dispose of in January, and not in July.
Lord ELLENEOROUCH then asked, why the pur-
chaser of the cargo was to stiffer this loss ?
And the ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the plaintiff,
said. that Ife could, by cross-examining the Captain,
throw all the blame upon him ; but then he was the
plaintiff's servant. Nonsuit.
OSWELL AND ANOTHER V. 'MN&
This was an action upon a policy of insurance. at
sixteen guineas per cent. premium. upon a ship, in
which Yakol Formin, a Rumian subject, had, an irate.
rest. from the port of London to any port or ports in
the Bdtic. The policy was dated April 25, 1810,
for £l5O, and the ship was warranted free horn
seizure in her port of discharge. She was captured
by the Danes ; and the underwriter's first defence
would have been, that the assured was an alien ene-
my, had not the Court of King's -Bench decided that
his Britannic Majesty's licences legalized the voyage
and prDtected the enemy assured.
The defence, therefore, upon which Mr. GAREOW,
for the underwriter, rested, 'was that one of the
grounds of the ship's condemnation was, that she had
simulated papers on board, and the policy did not ex-
press any leave to carry such papers. In support of
this defence, he quoted the decision in the Common
Pleas, t f Soel v. Lacy.
Lord ELLENISOROUGH was of opinicn that this case
fell within a class now under the consideration of the
Court, and would reserve the defendant the point, the
plaintiff taking a verdict for the present.
DOE, ON DEMISE OF TOWNSHEND V. PRINCE.
This was an action of ejectment, brought by the
plaintiff, a gentleman of Gloucestershire, against the
defeodant, who keeps a Tavern and Coffee-house in
Gracechurch-street, under the following circumstan-
ces : Pile plaintiff derived his title to the premises by
virtue of the 1 ist wilt and testament of the late Mr.
Charles Townshcnd, of the above-mentioned County,
whereby he became possessed of certain Purds and te.
nements in the Coui,ty of Gloucester and in the City of
London, among which was the house in questiol,
which house had been let some years ago, by the late
Mr,Towits!lend, to a pet son of the name of Anderson,
who kept it as .t woollen-drapery ware:souse. There
were severarcovenants in the lease ; among others,
th..t the Lessee was not to let it without consent in
writing first had and obtained; that he should insure
it every year against fire, and that he should not let
it to any person who, should carry on the several
trades in the cnvenant mentioned, among which was
that of 04kt-house business. All these covenants
being broken, the plaintiff considered himself entitled
to re-entry, and therefore he brought this action. The
original lease was produced, containing these express
covenants.
Mr. Davenport was next called.—He deposed to
having taken the house from Mr. Anderson and agre•-
ing to give him £sOo for it—that he never insured it;
and he admitted, atter every long and pressing eta&
