LAW 1 ' MAN SAVE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCILDIIALL, APRIL 10.

ATWOOD V. I.ONe.

This was an action upon a charter party, to recover
compensation for fuss must3inett througn tL rllr:I net
, tater of ship Captain in the service ut the det.vsal,sit.
I be damages were laid at 1,5011/.
ScARLETT Nas leading l'ounsel for the plaintiff.
and Mr. MARKYATT for the defendant, and the circum-
stances of the rate were as Whin :—The iletendant ;.,
ewnet of the ship Lion, of Luts.loil, and the ve +el .ailed
from London in December, Isl&, and arrived at An-
cona, in Italy, iu the following Spring, and ma% there
chartered to bring home a cargo of curie to England fur
asromit of the plaintiff. tar- the custom of that port, the
thippers of corn altvays furnish suatr, &c. to be 1,131-1-11
on the interior of the ship's hold, for the reception and
security of the corn aga:nst shifting, or wet from 'miler
Irakage; and these fiats were usually placed, awl the
torn stowed as it %VW% shipped, by persons employed, :it
tbe option of the %hipper:, the ( rpt.tin and crew of the
vessel taking no interference. 'lle Mate of the Lion,
while the stowage went on, informed the Captain that
the persons employed fir the stowage were no better
than mere old %omen, nut k ing the horsiness they
were employed in. The Captain complained to the
shippers on shore, and desired to hate other men vent
loot he obtained nu redress. tlaviu. , however, vom.
pieted his cargo, he proceeded on Ili, voyage; but he
had not sailed far from Ancona u lien lie ilbteoverell that
by the shifting of the t argo, and the motion of the ves-
sel, part of the corn found its way into the well. and
cloaked the pumpv. Ile was therefore obliged to return
to lb. port aml unload his cargo, to clear the p psi
and have it reshipped and properly slowed. Thr.e
pediments sn delayed his homeward voyage that lie did
not arrive off a British ort until after Ito- prices ut corn
had fallen, and our harh',urs were elosr.l by lan against
the admission of Aireign grain, ulierehy the pLaintilf
missed his market, and stistained a kr.. to the amount of
the damages now claimed. number of witnesses were
examined on each side. _ _ _

The Unite Jtivrit r, in summing up for theJurv, told
them the chief point for thew to okriele was, %tiletila
there was any estahlished rostom port of Ancotia
under which the •hippers of corn shipped and stewed
their non carries on board of the vessels they employed,
excluding any interference or directions of the captain
of such vessel ; and whether, on the other hand, the
Captain was or was not hound, notwithstanding any
local usage of the place, to supertotena the stowage of
such cargo, and apply his skill and knowledre in di-
recting the men employed ; or in rase of his omission or
neglect, his otTIICTI l.m itl he answerable for the room.-
quences to the carEo. If the former. their verdict to he
tor the defendant—and if the latter, then for the plaintiff.
The Jury, after retiring for an hour, found fur the
plaintiff—Dania”-es 65/., king the charge of retanding
and again shipping the cargo at Ancomi.
No other trial of general interest in the course of the
day.
