SPENCE on the EQUITABLE JURISDICTION of the

COURT of CHANCERY: comprising EQUITABLE ESTATES and INTERESTS; their Nature, Qualities, and Inciden's; in which is incorporated, so far as relates to those Subjects, the substance of "MADDOCK'S PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY." BY GEORGE SPENCE, Esq., Q. C.

* Vol. 1 may be had, price 17. 11s. 6d. boards.

"A mass of matter, cases, arguments, and discussions, thrown together in a work of such bulk, is like a library containing as many different works as this contains cases. ... presenting the authorities on each point in the ipsissima verba of judicial decisions, but connecting, modifying, approving, or condemning them in his own words, which will be deservedly considered of little less weight by the student than the

dicta to which they relate... .. Such is the variety of topics, subdivided into an almost infinite ramification of cases and points, into which the learned author is necessarily led. Few writers, we apprehend, could be found sufficiently persevering to pursue every topic in such a list with the same untiring vigour, till each in its turn was exhausted; few would have the learning, fewer still the resolution."-Law Magazine, No. 22.

"We must far surpass the limits of an article were we to attempt to discuss, with any sort of completeness, the vast variety of subjects which Mr. Spence's second volume contains-subjects treated by him with a fulness of detail indispensable in a book designed, not only as a

"There remains a vast amount of valuable information, both theoretical and practical, upon topics not to be found in any of the recent treatises, which must be carried to the sole credit of Mr. Spence's own eriginal and laborious investigations; and from this results the peculiar character of the book, that it is at once trite and recherché, containing all the stock information on subjects within its scope which may be found in the current text-books, and, superadded to these, the result of an experienced lawyer's researches in neglected paths, and resumés of, or criticisms (where criticism is called for) on, the most recent decisions, doctrines, and innovations of the Court of Chancery. . . . . A more dense mass of living law, available alike for study, reference, and practice, has seldom been presented to the Profession."-Jurist, No. 668.

"The reader, however, will be surprised at the mass of information which it contains; all the principal branches of learning are explored ... There never was less book-making in any book than in this."Law Magazine, N. S., No. 8.

"A work which promises to be one of the most learned and philosophical treatises on the largest branch of British jurisprudence which our language has produced."-Law Times.

When he Lord Campbell) was upon the bench he always had this work by him, and no Statutes were ever referred to by the Bar which he could not find in it." This important Work will be continued annually, by an Edition of the Statutes, arranged on a similar plan, with a full Index, being published shortly after the close of each Session. Edited by E.

"In all voyage policies, and in no time policies, there is an implied warranty of seaworthiness." Such is the conclusion arrived at by Lord Campbell, C. J., and concurred in by Coleridge and Wightman, JJ., in the cases of Thompson v. Hopper (2 Jur., N. S., part 1, p. 608; S. C., 25 L. J., Q. B., 240) and Fawcus v. Sarsfield, (2 Jur., N. S., part 1, p. 665; S. C., 25 L. J., Q. B., 249). Erle, J., dissents from this conclusion, and is of opinion that both in voyage and time policies there is an implied warranty of seaworthiness.

These cases carry the law further than the decision in Gibson v. Small, (4 H. L. C. 353; S. C., 17 Jur., part 1, p. 1131), in which it was held that there was no implied warranty of seaworthiness in a time policy effected upon a ship then at sea. A difference of opinion existed among the learned judges on that occasion, whether such a warranty would not be implied if the ship at the time when the policy was effected was in a port where there were means of making her seaworthy. These additional facts existed in the two recent cases above alluded to. In Thompson v. Hopper it was alleged (and admitted on demurrer) that at the time of effecting the policy the ship was an outward-bound ship lying in a British port, where the owners, who were the plaintiffs, resided; that they sent her to sea in an unseaworthy state, and that she was afterwards, while in that condition, lost. It was further alleged, in another plea, that the plaintiffs knowingly and wilfully sent her to sea in such condition; and in a third plea it was added, that the plaintiffs knowingly sent her to sea in such condition, and without a master or proper crew to navigate her, and that "by reason of the premises" she was wrecked and lost. This last plea was held to afford a good defence to the action, upon the ground that the plaintiffs could not recover for a loss occasioned by their own wrongful act. The other pleas were held by the majority of the Court not to afford any answer.

In Fawcus v. Sarsfield the action was on a time policy, alleging, first, a loss in respect of the expenses of repairs; and, secondly, a subsequent total loss. It was found by the arbitrator to whom the case had been referred, that as to the claim for repairs, the ship after the making of the policy sailed on her voyage in an unseaworthy state, and that the necessity for the repairs arose therefrom. It was held by the whole Court that the underwriter was not liable in respect of these repairs, as they had been rendered necessary not by perils of the sea, but by the bad condition of the ship at the commencement of the risk. As to the total loss, the arbitrator found that the policy was made in Liverpool, and that the ship was there, and unseaworthy, when the risk and the voyage upon which she was lost commenced, and that there were sufficient means there to make her seaworthy. This was held by the majority of the Court not to be an answer to the total loss.

The substance of Mr. Justice Erle's opinion in favour of implying the warranty of seaworthiness in time policies appears to be this:-All Courts are bound to the extent of the decision in Gibson v. Small, the ground whereof is, that if a ship insured by a time policy is at the commencement of the risk in an unknown sea and an unknown state, the owner does not warrant it is in the state requisite for setting out on a voyage. But beyond this, the authority of cases and text-books is against the making of any distinction between voyage and time policies. It is true that the term "seaworthiness" must be extended to the middle or end of a voyage, so as to render it applicable to time policies; but this is only analogous to what is done in some cases of voyage policies. The nature of the contract of insurance requires this warranty, whether it be a time or a voyage or a mixed policy; the contract of the insurer is based upon it; a main question for him must always be, whether the risk is ordinary or extraordinary; and this can be answered only by the state of the ship being given to him. This is required in order that the insurance may be a prudent mercantile investment, and it also operates to prevent fraudulent insurances for the purpose of destruction. The warranty extends to
