IMPORTANT DECISION
Supreme Court of the U. States
February ‘Perm, 130".
Rhinelander vs. Insurance
Company of Pennsylvania.
This was an action oaon a po
licy of insurance upon *c freight
of the ship Manhattan, from N.
York to Batavia, &c. and back.
It was tried in October sessions
of the circuit court for the Penn
sylvania district anti a verdict
found for the plaintiff, subject to
the opinion of the court upon %
case stated ; which case was ad
jouined ftom the circuit to the
supreme court *nd now come on
to be heard. The case stated
the Manhattan to be a neutral
ship. Oil her return voyage, or*
the 1 Oili February 1805, she was
captund by the ii/itish frigate
Busy William^— the mate and Si
of the crew wcife taken out, and
two British otiicJVs and 14 sailora
put on board, and she was order
ed to Bermuda. Ou the same
day, the mate was put, by tha
captors on-board a vessel bou'. J
for New-York, where he arrived
outlie 26th February. Ihe own
era being inloriacd of the cap.
ture, ou SU #f .March, claimed
total loss by reason of the cap
ture, aud offered 10 abandon. On
2,1 Apia payment was demand
ed ol the office and refused. On
the 6th juu the uctioq wa*
brought.
The vessel, after being cant
ed into Bermuda, was libelled as
pi ize. On the 2(Xh April vessel
and cargo was acquired aud re
stitution ordered. From trie sen
tence so far as respected ihe car
go, the captors appealed, which
appeal is *'ill 1 he
cargo was ordered Ur be deliver
ed to the owners On their giving
security. On the Btti May, se
curity was tuicicd,and this was
kuowtiioihe owners before ac
tion brought ;buc the captain dih
nut take actual posseas.ou of
ship till Uth June. The own
ers applied to the office for coun
ter sccuiity, which was refused.
The questiou referred by the
cuse to the court was, whether
the plaintiff is cutidtd to recover
lor a total loss.
Kawlc and Lewis argued for
the defendants, Ist. That the
stooping of the Manhattan on the.
10th February, uy the Busy WiL
iiam, iud otderiug her to Ber
muda, did not commute a ios.,
so as to authorise an abandon*
meat. It was not a capture by
au enemy, but merely stopping
on the high seas of a neutral by
a belligerent for starch, and u
sending in lor further examina
tion. As the abandonment was
made on the information of this
taking only, without any know
ledge of the subsequent proceed
ings, as it. was made for this
cause only ; as this cause did not
authorise 11 —and as uu eitncr ü
baudouincQt has been since made
the subsequent transactions can
not relate uack ..o as to give toe
plaintiffs a 1 igt*i against the un
