law in dealing with them treats such policies by the light of the law applicable to similar contracts, if the assured has valued his ship at so much, and the assurers have accepted the valuation, there is an end of the matter save in the case of fraud, or perhaps' such over-value tion as might be held to be evidence of fraud. But he question of fraud does not arise in this ca I have no doubt that O Yik Tong, having pended such lar, e sums on his vessel, did. Hotend to insure her for as much as possible on the basis of that amount; the only ques- tion therefore is, did the insurance Co. accept his valuation? The answer turns on" the meaning of the words "estimated value" which were inserted in the policy: and as i have stated in my preliminary judg. ment, the solution of this ambiguona phrase must be either; that the company accept- ed the estimate given by the plaintiff; or that they treated it morely as a basis for future negociations as to what the actual value was, in the event of her being lost. They adopt the two meanings, indeed the only two mean- ings, which can be given to the words "esti- mated value."
I have come to the conclusion, that the com pany accepted the estimate of value given by the plaintiff as the basis on which they entered into the contract of insurance. The reasous which induced me to come to this conclusion are the following –
The proposal was before the company, for about a month before it was actually. effected: the original estimate of value being "go odd' thousand dollars, which diffets so inappreciably from the "91,000," afterward adopted, as to be immaterial. The LONDON,original offer of the company was to insure up

tn $30,000, which was afterwards raised to $40,000, showing clearly that the company 'must have devoted, some consideration to the actual value of the vessel. Captain Douglas had a retainer from the company to report on proposals for insurance: he did in fact report
the Macau in respect of her capacity to Saury cargo on the voyage to Amoy. The com pany, therefore, had it in their, power to verify the plaintiff's estimate of value at any moment, They did not do so. The figure 59,000 was in fact adopted as the basis of the contract, the company insisting on the con- dition that the plaintiff should himself in sure fư the blance 55,000. - The company did not, as they might, as experienced insurers, have done, put in words to the effect that they did not accept the plaintiff's estimate or value; tion, which would have put the onus on the plaintiff in the event of loss of proving the actual insurance value of the ship reducing it to an open policy. And if, after these coD- siderations had been duly weighed, I had any dubts left as to what the intention of the com pany really was, they vinish when I come to Ng San Kau's statement: "I understood it to be that we should take 40/9 ths of $95,000" or, as he immediately changed it to "of the value of the ship." 1 regret that I cannot believe this introduction into his thoughts at that time of a matter which it is clear he had never thought of, and which was obviously the result of con- ference with hi· legal advisers.
I am therefore of opinion that by signing the policy the company greed to accept the estimate of value given by the plaintiff, which had requsted him to give, and which they in- seated in the policy.
