It is also appreciated by serious students of the subject that the] crime of overlonding is one most difficult of detection and proof, andį it is a regrottable fact that it is only when a ship là lost and sea- men perish. that there is most chance of proving overloading, and bringing the guilty parties to book. It has recently been reported that the insurers paid the sum of $44,767 to the owners of the St. Mary Steamship Company In rea pect of the loss of the Eastway.

It is well known in marine Insur- ance circles that underwriters and claim settlers were by no meane un- animous in favour of the decision to pay the loss In respect of the Eastway, and it is presumed that the compromised settlement was made on account of the vessel be- ing mortgaged.

May I put forward the sugges•] tion that a very effective deterrent] to the practice of overloading would be an amendment in the Marine In- surance Act, making it illegal to pay and to receive a settlement in respect of the hull of any verse! which the courts have found to be overloaded with the privity of the

The enactment of such law would, I am convinced, prova most effective, and should be welcomed 1 by underwriters as relieving them
