A few examples relating to the conditions inserted Masens. HEINEMANN Co.'s Freight Cir in these contracts of affreightment wili cular for the Mail of Thursday, 28th. explain our meaning. A common stipulationFebruary, says is as follows:"Five per sent, to be paid on this Charter out of the freight." If no freight is earned the question may arise whether commission can be recovered; but, bearing in mind that the prospective earnings of a ship can be insured against sen rieke, if the remuneration is not paid as freight it is made good by the Underwriter. Freight, however, must be contracted for before it becomes an insurable interest. Another form of stipulating for commission is as IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION.
