BRITISH COURT OF ADMIRALTY


The skia Prince Regent
This vase the case of a bottomry
bond, in the hyPothecation OF which the
freight was omitted. The facts OF the
case. and the arguments OF Counsel,
will be found in the London Courier OF
the 18th July last.
Lord Stowell said, he should direct
that the freight in this case 1e brought in,
and subjected to contribution in an aver
age upon the ship, freight and cargo. In
this case the freight had been omitted in
the hypothecatiOn of the bond-but he
had no doubt of the Courts jurisdiction to
supply the deficiency, which Is now direc-
ted to be supplied. Unquestionably the
hypothecation ought TO have included
freight. The leader-the person who ad-
vanced the money upon the bottomry
bond-might undoubtedly elect to have
the cargo ipcluded-for he was compe-
tent to elect upon what security ne would
hazard his advances. But he could not
exclude ship and freight, for ship and
freight were evidently the natural secu,
ri,les for the repayment of his money. &
the court observed, that in directing the
freight TO be added to the hypothecation.
it was only strengthening the securities
to which the lender was entitled. The
bond was then ordered to be brought into
the Registry of the Court, and to be paid
with interest and costs.
The ship aurora.
In this case ships register was de-
livered up by the captain of the vessel to
party making advances for repairs done
and performed to her in consequence OF
damage sustained at sea. The captain
drew upon the owners for the amount or
part OF the amount of the charges-and
payment was refused by them OF the cap
tain's bill. This vas an application TO
the court, to grant an attachment against
the party holding the ships certificates OF
registry, SO deposited with the lender OF
the monies expended in repairs by way
of security--and by him refused to be
delivered up until repayment OF his dis
bursemen,s. 1t was contended on the
one hand by DR.. Lushington, that the
master ought to have taken up such mo-
MES IN the regular way, upon bottomry-
bat that he had no rightto deliver up the
ships register, nor the lender of the cash
to detain it. Dr. Jenner, on the other
side, maintained that the party advancing
the money was entitled to withhold the
register, by way of lien upon the owners
for the advance.
Lord Stowell said, as this was new
case, he should take some time to con.
slider it.
