Should the owner have received for each

This, it evidently appeared, involved the
parties in the rife and fall Of the market.
and was unfair for both. IF the article
came to a rifng market, though it was not
half 70 valuable rs when hipped, it might
fell for as much As it originally colt, and

half ;ts prime cot, and the underwriters
would be compelled to pay, perhaps, ten
times more than they ought to have done
by the terms Of the contract. 1t was
therefore agreed that the market ihould
only be cited as a criterion to determine
the quantum of the average lois. The
current price Of found brimifone at the port
ofdelivery was wa to bs afcertained, and
the current price of damaged brimRone,
and the underwriters wee to pay the fame
proportion of the invoice price as thefs two
bore t each other.
Thus, if damaged brimRone fold for iol.
a ton, and found for 2ol they were to pay
one half of the invoice price and if DANA
ged brimfone fold for Iol.a ton while
found fetches 40 mora than i 81. one third

But here the grand quelion arofe, viz.
whether the groG proceeds of 1.-THE cargo
were to be %contidered, or only the net pro-
ceeds. This makes the mott eaential diff
ference, as the freight, premium, and du-
ties paid upon the article, when found and
unbound are exactly the fame, and by thefc
being added, the difference, between the
prices OF the two is very much leGened. In
the prefent cafe, according to the latter
mode of calculation, the defendant was
bound to pay 7ol. Is. I'D. cwt.; but ac-
cording to the former only Z 81. The plain
tiff was of the one opinion (which it is
unnecehary to mention, and the defendant
of the other, and as they could not ageee
an action was brought. The cauie was
tried before Lord Kenyon at the fittings
after the lat term at Guildhall, and, ii
being urged On the part of the plaintiff
that, as the rilk terminates when the goods
arrive at the port Of delivery, neither the
duty o any f%ubordinate charge arifing
poiterior to the termination Of the riI
1hould be conidered, and likewife tina,
this was the common method of fettling a.
verage loles, the jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff.
MIR. Law, however, this day moved the
Court for a rule to thew caufe why there
fhould not be a new trial, and contended
very ably for the hyperion merit of the me-
thod of calculation, which conliders the
g,g proceeds of the cargo. The queaion
he faid, had made a very great noife in the
city, many respectable merchants were diff
iatisfed with the manner in which it had
been decided, and, as it was Of the utmoA
Importance to the mercantile world, al
mott all were anxious that it hould be
again renewed. He then went into eve-
raj ingenious calculations, which we fhall
detail on a future day, and concluded by
humbly hoping that his motion would be
granted.
