which, notwithstanding their
* 6 , they confine to such expenses, only, as were
as well as extraordinary, and to sup.
C Z iMsconatrdctidn, they have been driven into
equally absiird and unreasonable. When
° n accident happens, it is certainly good policy
encourage the master to procure all the aid
within his reach; but, that one part of* the force
hould be compensated from the cargo, and
5 other part by the owner, when the whole force
was engaged in a common cause for the com
mon benefit, is a doctrine which the gentlemen
Mnm)t support) because it is not only in direct
opposition to the Law of cases adjudicated in this
untry— which conform to the decisions of simi-
C ° t c j e9 in England—but to the principles sub
sequently admitted by the gentlemen them-
"the proprietor of the goods, and
lh« owner of the vessel, are connected by a com
mon interest. Recovering the cargo from im
pending peril, benefits the freighter, by putting
him in possession of his goods again, and the
ship owner, by enabling him to earn his freight,
with his own or some other vessel. But com
muniiy of expense ceases with community of in
terests,—and eacli share or concern, when the
danger is past, reverts to its original individuali
ty, rights, and responsibilities. Thus, if the cargo
be saved from a wreck, and the master is una
ble or unwilling to earn his freight, by sending it
forward, the salvage is paid by contribution from
the goods alone, and each owner regulates his
future interests, in transportation or otherwise,
as he pleases.’’—With the exception of the lat
ter paragraph, the doctrine of the gentlemen is
pot only sanctioned by equity and justice, but by
the law.
In rescuing the cargo of the New-Jersey from
impending peril, and relieving it subsequently
from damage, as far as practicable, there was
undoubtedly a common interest, which created a
common expense, for which the gentlemen ought
to have indemnified the owner of the Boat (who
had paid it all) by a common contribution. But
each share or concern, could not, in the nature of
the case, revert to its original individuality.—
The boat was lost, and the Patroon, as was his
duty under the Law, as agent of all concerned,
bought the boxes, in order to prosecute the
voyage; and the Law did not give him the option,
according to the doctrine of the gentlemen, of
earning his freight, or leaving the cargo to be
transported by the owners. And these boxes
were used, not only in earning the freight, but in
preserving the cargo, & were a necessary conse
quence of one of the perils to which the owner of
the boat had excepted. Hence, the wages & pro
visions of tho crew, from the time the boxes started
with the cotton, till their arrival at Darien, oughj
to have been added to the Dill of Charges, and
the whole amount credited, with a proportion of
the freight for that distance—leaving the balance
of the bill to be contributed for by tho balance of
\he freight and the value of cargo, after deduct
ing the former from the amount of the latter, af
ter delivery; or the bill of charges, including the
coat of (he boxes, ns rendered, should have been
contributed for by the full freight, and tho raluo
of the cargo after delivery, deducting the freight.
It may be, the former would, in this case, be
most equitable, as it would allow the common
interest, by paying all the expenses for that dis
tance, to earn a proportion of the freight for tho
common benefit; and would be in conformity to
the principle contended for, that, no matter how
the extraordinary expenses maybe incurred, if
they boa necessary consequence of tho perils
excepted to, the surplus is subject to general
contribution.
Tho gentlemen continue, “ Tho master and
crow have engaged their ichole service to tho
omcrand shippers : they are bound to protect
the vessel & cargo from all perils, [in their pow
cr] and unless for extraordinary services beyond
Ik line of their duty, have no claim but for wa
ges. These must be paid by the owners, when
freight is received, but when the ship and freigh t
ire both lost, by contribution from the property
iived.
It is difficult to determine what services, under
.Well a contract, could bo beyond the line of their
duly. But that is immaterial to tho present in.
quiry. This doctrine admits, that the master
Md crew have a lien beyond the ship and freight,
fur their wages—extending even to the cargo—
Md does in no wise interfere with tho right of
the owner, under the doctrine of common inter
ests making common expense, from demanding
of the owners of the cargo, a contribution for his
indemnity, for having complied with his contracts
tfith the master and crew, by paying them for
Wages, earned in saving the cargo and the freight.
The law hero quoted by the gentlemen, does not
enter into the circumstances of the case.
1 But surely (they say) apart from all legal
wnsiderations, it could not reasonably be expect
ed, that the owner of the goods should pay fall
freight, and also contribute to the cost of the
' esse | lat sav et it. It would, in effect, be mak
ing him an Insurer oil freight, without a pre
mium. When a ship is lost, and the master hires
Mother, he does it in behalf of his owner, to com-
V' et ® h' 3 contract; or he abandons his freight,
Md acts as agent for the shippers, who must
then pay the hire and other charges.”
,l was indeed a misfortune for the owner of
boat, greater than that which happened to
»m by the New Jersey’s sinking, that it did not
occur to the gentlemen, that the freight could be
‘vided as well as the cargo; and that it was e
-lua y unjust, to make the boat-owner an insu-
TCr °nthe cargo, as the owners of the cargo, in
fers on the freight, without premium. There
M a '•'‘ddle ground, which has been marked
already, that would have avoided both, and
( J '' e one justice to all. In regard to the raas
er 3 hiring a vessel to replace his own, it will
epend on the circumstances under which the
necessity arose, to determine whether he does so
die benefit of his owner, or for the common
an< * w hen so determined, the expense
'* be applied accordingly. But in no case is
e mMter bound to abandon freight on goods
’ m o|, der to demand the expences incurred
0 p 10 3a ' va ?e. On the contrary, every principle
in h' V ' ÜBt ' ce ’ al, fi equity, entitle him to a right
1 c goods, to the amount of both demands.
‘ Pp°se the New Jersey had arrived safely
6 w " ,r f at Darien, and by some of the perils
cepted to, sunk with the cargo—that the expen
* fevering tho cargo amounted to tho
same as tile freight—and that the (burner was de
livered to the owners—will the gentlemen con
tend, that the master has lost all his earnings,
from Macfin to Darien? Or, is it hot the law and
equity of the case, that he has carried a freight,
which is Ui the goods, and which must contribute
with the goods, for their common salvage?
Having, so far, examined the law and argu
ments relied on by the gentlemen—which they
have not strictly applied to the circumstances of
the case; or which were not at all applicable to
them—it will be proper to introduce the deci
sions of a few cases adjudicated in this country,
to establish the law which is conceived to bo ap
plicable to the case, and which establishes the
basis of the settlement contended for : after
which, a proforma settlement of the case, made
up according to this doctrine, will be submitted,
which will more readily illustrate the law and
the equity of it:
“When, in the course of a voyage, a ship in
sured, being damaged by winds and storms,
voluntarily seeks a port to refit, the expences
consequent thereon, including tho provisions and
wages of the «rew, during the detention, are a
subject of general average—but the repairs are a
distinct charge on the ship.”- 4 th Mass. Rep. 548.
“If a vessel be obliged, from sea damage, to
bear away to a port, of necessity, in order to re
fit, the wages and provisions of the crew, from
the moment of bearing away, to the period ofher
sailing on her original voyage, constitute a sub
ject for general average, which may be recover
ed in an action, by the owners of the ship, against
the proprietors of the cargo. —2nd Johnson’s
Rep. 98.
“The insured of the ship (i. e. the owner) may
recover a proportion ofthc expenses incurred in
attempting the recovery of the ship and cargo, of
the Insurers or owners of the cargo and freight.”
—7th Johnson's Rep. 57.
“Such expenses can be brought into general
average, as were incurred before tho arrival of thv
vessel at her port of discharge, and were neces
sary for the prosecution of the voyage, and the
preservation of the cargo andfreigkt , as well as
of the vessel.”—lDA Johnson’s Rep. 315.
“The extraordinary expenses of seamen’s
wages, &c. during tho detention of the vessel,
during an embargo, cannot be recovered, as a
partial loss, from the Insurers on the freight; they
are a general average. —2nd Binney Rep. 547.
“ A vessel insured from St. Croix to New-
York, was stranded at Shrewsbury, on the coast
of New-Jersoy ; information of »'hich accident,
being received in New-York, lighters and men
were, by the agreement of all parties, without
prejudice to their respective rights, sent down
from New-York, to endeavor to save the proper
ty ; the vessel was wrecked, and lost; but the
cargo was saved, and brought up to New-York
in the lighters, and delivered to the consignees
and owners. It was held, that the expenses of
salvage, including the cost of the lighters, Sfc.
were genecal average, and that the insurers on
the cargo were bound to pay their proportion
of such average.”—lDA Johnson’s Rep. 85.
In the absence of the necessary particulars, it
will be indispensable to assume some of the data,
in making the adjustment. The value of the car
go, after delivery, including the freight on it, will
be taken at sl9,2oo—the freight at $1,200 —
the bill of charges rendered, being SBOI 50.
The additional wages and provisions of the pat
roon and crew, for time consumed in carrying
the cotton by the boxes, from the point where the
accident occurred, to Darien, will he taken at
198 50, which will make that bill $1000; and
the distance which the boxes carried the cotton,
will be taken at one fourth ofthe whole distance
of the voyage.
The boat, being entirely lost, does not
contribute. The bill of expences in
curred on the general account, amounts
to < SIOOO

Independently of the great and immutable prin
ciples of justice, which are the foundation of the
law, the reason and equity of this adjustment, by
which every interest or concern, bears its pro
portion of the expences incurred for the general
benefit, and derives its share of the advantages,
and no more—each part harmonizing with the
other, and all forming a perfect xvhole—will
speak its own merits. By it, the boat owner is
not made the insurer on the cargo, nor the own
ers of the cargo, insurers on the freight; but
each bears his duo proportion of the loss; and if
either bo bisured by an underwriter for a pre
mium, to him he refers and obtains his full in
demnity. By it, the distinction is legibly and in
, telligibly drawn, between the liability of the
i boat owner, and the insurer, (or the owner of the
, cargo, if he does not think proper to pay a pre
mium to another for taking his risk;) and the
’ rights of all parties are regarded and protected.

FIItJQ-PItOOF
HOUSE COVERING.
WK HAVE hereby appointed and em
powered Mr. PHILIP CRUMP, of the
City of Augusta, Geo., to cover Houses
with Tin Plate Sheeting or Zinc, on Mr.
Richard S. Tildon's Patent plan of Cov
ering, which for its decided advantages
over all other methods of Fire-Proof Co v
ering, deserves public patronage. On
this plan, the buiider saves very consid
erably in his roof, in the strength ofTim
hers, and Framing; .Slate requiring strong
timbers, well framed, in order to bear
their weight. In a. Tin cover, there is
comparatively no weight, consequently,
hall the strength of timbers and framing
is all sulHeient.
This plan is also particularly adapted
to old Houses. On those, nothing more
is required, than to lake olf the old shin
gles, knock down the nails, and put on
the Tin; the method of putting on the
Tin being so perfect, that whatever may
he the state of Sheeting, in reason, a
perfectly water, ns well as fire-proof roof,
is readily secured, that will, nccording to
the best information on the subject, lasi
one hundred years. Another very de
cided advantage oflhis method of cover
ing, is, it is not at all subject to any kind
of damage whatever, for while it lays on
smooth and close, forming the hand
somest roof in use, it would require the
strength of a man, to pull one sheet from
its position. As to the use of Tin in
covering houses, it is well known, and
much used in many parts of the world,
and believed to be preferable to any other,
except copper. It has however fallen info
disuse in some parts of the United States,
wholly on account ofthe manner of its be
ing put on; Six and Eight nails being
driven through every sheet, or in some
cases soldered, either ol which is certain
to give way, sooner or later. On the pre
sent plan, no nail is driven through the
Tin; the Tin being locked together, and
attached to the roof in such » way, ns to
render it impossible to change its position
or leak one drop. The public may place
, the most implicit confidence in the mode
of putting it on; and us to its durability, we
i could produce the best of testimony, that
, Houses are now covered with Tin, that
has been on for ninety-five years, and is
yet good. Aud nt the same time that it
lias very decided advantages over every
other kind ofcovering except copper, it is
nevertheless the cheapest Fire-Proofcov
ering now in use. We have left certificates
i in the hands of Mr. Philip Crump, of as
respectable gentlemen as any in Virginia,
setting forth the advantages of the plan.
We have also empowered Mr. Crump to
dispose of Patent rights for covering, in
any part of Georgia or Alabama. He also
1 will give every necessary instruction.—
i We would also add, that such is the sim
plicity and perfection ofthe plan, that any
sort of workman can put on the Tin.
