inspecting the vessel, it was found that it
would take fifteen hundred crowns, or about
35Ul TO repair her. 1t was also proved that
no vessel could Immediately be got to con
vey the cargn to this Country. In these Cir
cumstances the captain chose to sell the
vessel tor Is dollars, and the cargo also for
what 1T would bring, not exceeding 7o0l in
the whole, thereby producing an average
loss oil 6S per cent. whereas, had he repaired
the vessel, ut the estimated expense, it
would not have amounted to more than IS
and a fraction per cent
Lord Peterborough said here, certainly,
the cargo subsisted in specie; but il it so
subsisted in a distant part OF the world, and
was immo"eable from thence, it might as
well be ut once swallowed up.
Mr.. Marrya,t agreed, that at the moment
no ship could be got to convey the cargo
home. The ship, however, it appeared,
was capable of being repaired and. at all
events it was impossible to suppose that the
cargo should be forever detained at Nor
folk, in Virginia, from the want Of ship
to convey it from thence.
Lord marlborough agreed that an aban-
donment ought to be made, where the snb-
Ject insured existed in specie, and was
capable of being got home.-Rule to shew
cause granted.
