A NOVEL INSCHANCE PERIL. (Tonernist)
Aninsarereo, ca-Rodosanchi Elliot urising out afd. canaed, by the elege of Paris bus just ocen: decided by the Court of Common Plans, The notions on two policia of insure on silk shipped from Shanghai to London, vid Baez Tanal. The na sured had the option of sending the silk by difforme vanes and lines of eteamers, and be contended that bia choice of the Mesageries linn, who aerit their London goods overland by Marseilles to Boulogne, wins within the option the mistom of so forwarding goods overland hcing well known to underwriters. This war found to be the fact in the case sabmitted to the Chart; and the goods having been abat op in Fais by the sige, and notice of abandon ment given, the estion arose whether tho policy covered a hand risk, and whether the ego of Paris was not a restraint of Princes within the mung of the policy. On both points the Court decided for the as- sured, and against the underwriter. The words In the poling,“steamer or steamers per over- land of via Suez Canal," wore hold to show that land carriage was contemplated, and the Paris siege was treated of the nature of a blockade or embargo, which atter, it had been held, jus- tified the assured in giving notice of abdudon- mont. The case is certainly one of the singo- larraults of the saga of Paris, but the point onée granted list the overland transit through Fran wan namured, va donot think there could be match difficulty as to the risk caused by the Biege of Pria being a peril within the meaning of the policy. Guida prasing through Franc fa, the Lotame of 1870 were really expneed to war taks of every art, und anderwriters abould either have protested themselvca by a sufficientĮ preminu if the insurances wers effected after the outbreak of the war, or stogaid havo sub- tted quietly to the loss ontaffed by the sud- denness of its outbreak,
ADULTERATION. (Economist.)
The decision just given by the Fudges of the Court of Queen's Bench with reference to the Adalaration Act of last sension must be con- sidered a matter for general congratulation. The Act maljcoted the sellers of articles of food as unadulterated which are adultemted" to certain poustic, but the stipendiary magistrate of Liverpool, in the age of Fitzpatriak. Kelly, just brought before the Queen's Bench, Las decided thatto being a seller within the Statute there minat be express representation that
the articles were pure. The weakmos imparted to the Aar by such in interpretation is obvinne, as it throws on the purebiser the ouua of call. ing for an sxpress representation, about the term of which there would always be a difficulty ja oblaining evidence, while the natural inor neas of the public before a body of keen tradere would also tend to prevent any demand for express representations. But the Judices, of the Court of Queen's Bench buze, fortunately,
