The defendants accepted the risk and entered into a policy of insurance upon the Edindals. The Edendale went to Hongay, loaded a cargo of coals for Hongkong, and was lost on her | voyage between Hongay and Hongkong. When the claim was made upon the underwriters they resisted it on the grounds that the risic was not correctly described in the policy, and that the fact that the vessel, was going to Hongay wa concealed from them,

For the plaintiff Mr. Bollen was called, and ald he either told the anderwitters what the ship was going to do or showed the letter of fostruction to them when laviting them to take the risk, For the defendants a number of under-. wrliers were called, who stated that they never beard of the port of Hangay before this case had arisen, and that Mr. Bullen did not mention the fret that the ship was going to Hangay.

that the Enginyers' Association should pay to the Marine Club an entrance fee of $5 and a❘ monitly subscription of $1 for each of its members. When the plaintiff was admitted the entrance fee and subscription were payable in accordance with this rule. ~ Subsequently an arrangement was made, for the convenience it was said in the statement of defence, of the Engineers' Association, that these loon should no longer be collected by the Englaners Association and paid by them to the Marino Club, but should be collected directly by the Club from the members. However, the rules were not amended, and the rules were the law with regard to all the members of the Club & the rules settled the rights and Habilities of all the members, and so they stood now, after baving considered what Mr. Fort had urged, ha a was of opinton_that_the_privilegs which was

given to members of the Engineers' Association, of being admitted as members of ike Marlid Club, that that privilege continued only as long as they remained members of the Engineers' Association. It was a pilyllege which was con- sequent upon membership of the Engineers! Association. The plaintiff when he became a member of the Engineers' Association became a member of the Marine Club ; as long as he was a member of the Association he continued s❘ member of the Club, and when be cessed to be

■ member of the Association he ceased to be member of the Club. That was, he thought, the construction which undoubtedly must be put upon these rules. He found it clearly proved Mr. Justice Mathew, in giving judgment, salð that the plaintiff bad ceased to be a member of ---At the time of the policy the vessel was under the Engineers' Association; in fact, he had been charter to proceed to Hongay, and there take expelled by a decliton of the committee en this cargo of coals for Hongkong. The underwilters point. He had been expelled by a resolution resisted the claim on the ground that the policy passed in his presence of January 16th last, the did not describe the risk. It was a clear role of reason being that he had refused to comply with law that, whenever a person intending to Insure a rule or resolution passed by the committee to presented a risk to an underwriter, he was the effect that the members of the Association' || bound to tell the underwriter the risks he would should not sign an agreement or articles without have to run, and which he proposed to put upon Inserting to them a twenty-four hours' notice the shoulders of the underwalter. The parties clause, which he understood to mean that they must have been ad idem sad the underwalter were free to retire after giving twenty-fours was entitled to have all information put before him. That sule was subject to two qualifications notice. A resolution appeared to have been passed by the committed to the effect that all (1) the assured, was entitled to *rsume the members of the Association would impose that"|| 'underwriter knew his business, snd sil Incidental clause upon those who employed them.

It was agreed that in the action that they took, and that for various If that letter had been shown there was an end of other reasons the decision could not be malnı the matter.

The port was of a peculiar kind, which had come into existence since the French occupation of Tonkin. The navigation was dangerous for a vessel of the size of the Edendale.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. ·

TO THE EDITOR or zku “Ifawazo»s Telegrafe,"

|

SIR,Relenting to "Hamanitarian's Letter, which appeared in your issue of the 13th Instant, respecting the horrible cruelty practiced on fowls, chickens, docks, &c., by Asiailes, I should also like, if you could give me space, to mention that one of the customs of the Chinese in prepar- Ing fowls for cooking is to frst scald sham with hot water and then pluck them alive!'

Asiatics can be seen dally carrying along the streets fowls and other birds by the legs Sh and many of these by this method must be "done to death."

The swindling compradore or market-man, of which there are no doubt many, who sellí a fowl as described in "Humanitarian's" Latter, is a brute of the diabolicni type, and should at once be brought to justice. If such barbarous cruelty is allowed to go on in a British colony it brcomes a reproach to the Authorfiles, for who can Imagine the torture the helpless creatures undergo and why is it not put down with a strong hand?****

I would suggest that a branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals be estabilobed here, and one or two Inspectors be employed in the usual way. If this was done

Ko doubt people of all classes would readily subscribe to its fandy, as the maiter calls for speedy legislation and immediate rectification,
