, - COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Nev it.
>. atlrlfZit V. PEARSON.
Mr. gerjea'nt &menial) showed cause against the!
Rule granted in this ease for a new trial, on the ap-
plication'
plication of Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, who moved it,
'on the ground of the verdict being against evidence,
and also on a mistake in the directions of the
'Learned J'idge who tried the cause. It was an ac-
tion on a policy of insurance, effected on the ship
Constantia, in the. month of September, 1810, at
and from Heligoland, to any port or ports in the
Baltic, with liberty to touch at all ports or places
foal information,
t kc..'and it appeared that the vessel, '
ins arrived off the port of Swinnemunde, on the
Fief October, in the same year, continued at
anchorthere from that time to the 16th November,
when she was sequestered by the civil authorities.
4 verdictimd been given for the Plaintiff, and Mr.
,Serjeant Vaughan, on behalf of the underwriters,
moved for a new trial, on the ground already stated.
It was now contended, against the Rule, that the
place. where the vessel was moored, was neither ac.
tually nor legally in pert; that vessels never light-
ened there, nor could a lighter come to them ; and I
that it was not the circumstance of a vessel lying
there in safety, that made it part of the port. The
lonly ground for a motion in this case would have
been, whether the Captain had deviated from the
1 terms of the policy in remaining s) long at anchor ;
but that question had gone to the Jury, and %vas de-
Icided by them. He contended, that the Captain had
a right to touch at all ports or places for information, ;
and that being the case, there was no reason for ea-
' cepting the port of Switinemunde.
Mr. Serjeant VACGIIAN, contra, maintained, that
1 though the first point, concerning the vessel being
'ln port or not, should be set at rest (and there was
I strong ground for believing that the Captain came
' to an anchor, for the purpose of making that spot
the port of discharge), there was still the question,
whether the Jury should not have found all impro-
per waiting on the part of the Captain, for without
inquiring where he was destined to ' • yet if he went
intwport, was he not responsible for the risk in-
curred ?—Was he not .to have used all diligence,
and not abused his time unjustifiably ?, And' fur-
' they, though he was at liberty to touch at a port, ac-
cording to the terms of the policy, that did not war.:
rant his waiting off a port where he was liable to
capture. . _ - ..

Mr.
M Serjeant RUFF argued on the same side.
Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD observed, that it
' was very unpleasant to have to decide upon cases
° like the present. The principal points muct, how-
ever, be decided by the Jury, and they had decided
here, he thought, rightly that this place was an,
exception to the port of Swinnemunde. According
to the cases which had been determined, the Jury
I were certainly right en the main point, for there
was here a distance of six miles, and the vessel
" was in the open sea, and where no vessel ever un-
I loaded, nor any lighter came out : on that point,
therefore, the question was decided ; and the next
point was, whether the Captain entertained any 11l
design in waiting till the 16th Nov. or whether no,
sufficient account of that delay had been given.—
The Captain had sworn that the weather was tem-
pestuous and bad, and that he could not move with
safety, as he bad lost a mast, and even though he
I had his mast, it was a question whether he should
not have waited till the weather was more mode-
! rate. The Learned Judge concluded by observing,
that as this point must have been left to the Jury,
and they thought there was no groend for imputing
neglect to the Captain, the Court had uo authority
for saying the verdict was wrong, and therefore
could not grant a new trial.
Mr. Justice Gums said, that there were two ques-
tions in this case, the first of which, relative to the
exception of the port, had been determined over and
over; with respect to the second, it was properly a
question of fact, which above all others was fit for
the decision of the Jury, and they had accordingly
1 decided.—Rule discharged.
