MARINE LAW SUIT.
Decision by Judge Hammond
Important to River and
Insurance Men.

The following decision was delivered
this morning by Judge Hammond iu
the case Of j. W. MOOres VS.. the Lou.
isville underwriters;
lst. If seaworttiness be established
by positive proof Of the condition Of
the vessel, and disaster occurs in fair
weather, without discernible cause
there is a presumption Of fact that the
loss was occasioned by some of the
perlls insured against. The ordinary
presumption that the vessel was un
seaworthy being overcome by the
positive proof, but in all these cases
there is no fixed presumption Of law
or fact in the way, but it is matter to
be determined by jury according to the
peculiar facts Of the case.
I'd. A general form Of policy adapt
ed to lakes, seas, rivers, canals, rail-
roads, fires and jettisons can not be
construed to enlarge the phraze' perils
OF the sea- but must be construed
with sole reference to the particular
risk in each case, whether of lake, sea
river, canal or railroad.
3rd. While the phraze "perils Of tn,
sea-" does not cover all cases thai
happen on the sea there is principle
Of construction which gives 1t as ex.
tensive meaning as can be reasonably
done. All navigation being perilous
it does not follow because the witness
cannot locate the peril, there was none
and loss may sometimes happen from
the ordinary action of the sea or river
which is covered by the policy.
4th. Insurance on a raft in charge
OF towboat is to be treated not as an
insurance Of vessel" but as cargo
Of the towboat.
9th. Where a raft of logs was in
sured on voyage in charge of tow.
boat, and carried to the mouth
Of Wolf river, up which it was
to be placed a short distance, and
was lest under circumstances which
did not disclose any extraordinary
action Of the elements, or as far al
could be observed by any Of the wit
nesses, by any negligence of the nayi
gator, but il was proved that the rafi
was "seaworthy"; held LIST, that there
was a presumption Of loss by some Up
known cause insured against, I'd, thai
it being probable the loss was caused
by the combined action Of the currents
Of the two rivers, the strain of the tug
engaged in towing, and possible IN
skillialpess Of navigation, it wa
covered by the policy.
