Pearson V. The Commercial Union Insurance Company.—Nov. 18,19, and 24.

Ship—Insurance against fire—Liberty to go into dry dock —Destruction in transitu.

A fire policy effected on a steam ship, " lying in the Victoria Docks," gare her " liberty to go into dry dock, ami light her boiler fires once or twice" during the currency of the policy. Adjoining the Victoria Docks was a dry dock; but the entrance being too small to admit the vessel, she was towed to (mother dock two miles higher up the river. This she entered by removing the lower part of her paddle-wheels. What the completion of her repairs was nearly effected, she moored in the river, on her way back to the Victoria Docks, to finish off and refix her paddle-wheels. These might have been put on in the Victoria Docks, but at greater expense, and the practice of putting them on outside was usual. While this was going on, she was entirely destroyed by fire:—Held, that the vessel was not covered by the policy while lying in the river.

Action on a policy of insurance against fire on tho steam ship Indian Empire, tried before Erie, C. J., at tho Sittings after Trinity Term, 1863.

The policy was for 10,000?., on payment of 21/. 5s. premium, from tho 14th May, 18G2, until tho 16th August, 1862, "on the hull of tho steam ship Indian Empire, with her tackle, furniture, and stores on board belonging, lying in tho Victoria Bocks, London, with liberty to go into dry dock, and light the boiler fires once or twice during tho currency of this policy "

The declaration set out the policy, and alleged, that whilst it was in force the ship and premises were destroyed by fire.

The defendants pleaded, that at the time when tho said ship was destroyed, it was not in tho Victoria Bocks, nor in any dry dock within tho meaning of the policy, nor on tho way to or from any such dry dock, nor in tho course of lighting tho boiler fires; nor did the said destruction occur by reason of any such fighting of fires, and that the loss did not happen while the said ship, &c. were covered or protected by tho policy.

It appeared that The Indian Empire, at tho time tho policy was effected, was lying in tho Victoria Bocks, and that in connexion with the docks are tho Thames Graving Bocks, both of which are supplied with numerous appliances for putting out fires. Tho Thames Graving Bocks are not strictly dry docks, but thoy answer the purpose of dry docks, the ships being raised out of the water by means of pontoons, and so giving access to their bottoms. But the entrance to these docks was too narrow to admit The Indian Empire, even with her paddle-boxes removed. In consequence of this, the vessel was towed by a tug to other docks (Lungley's Docks), about two miles higher up the river, which she was able to enter after the removal of her paddle-wheels. She remained there undergoing repairs from the 18th May till the 12th July, when she was taken out, and moored in the river, a little way off. Here she was proceeding to complete her repairs, and to refit her paddle-wheels, when she was totally consumed by fire. It appeared also, that it was not unusual to fix the paddle-wheels outside the docks; that though they might have been refixed in the Victoria Docks, tho expense of so doing would have been considerably greater than to do the work in tho river; and, in the opinion of some witnesses, that the danger of destruction by fire in the docks was at least equal to the danger in the river, by reason of the crowded state of the shipping.

The jury found, that the vessel intended to return to the Victoria Docks, and they gave their verdict in favour of the plaintiff.

A rule nisi having been obtained to entor a nonsuit, on the ground, that upon the true construction of the policy, the vessel was not covered at the time of the loss,

Bovill, Q. C, and Wotkin Williams shewed cause, and contended that the vessel was not restricted to the dry docks in connexion with the Victoria Docks, but, being at liberty to go to others, she was covered by the policy in her transit to and from them, provided the usual course were adopted, and that the evidence shewed that the usual course had been adopted.

Lush, Q. C, Kurslake, Q. C, and Sir G. LTonyman, in support of the rule, urged that the liberty to go into dry dock was confined to the docks at hand, docks to get into which there was no other than dock risk; or if the vessel was entitled to go to others, she was not entitled to lie in the river, but was bound to return to the Victoria Docks to complete her repairs, and refix her paddle-wheels. They referred to Burges v. Wickham (33 L. J., Q. B., 17; anto, p. 92).

Nov. 24.—Ekle, C. J., now delivered the judgment of the Court.—This was an action on a policy, by which the ship was insured against loss by fire during three months. The ship was described to be lying in the Victoria Docks, with liberty to go into dry dock, and to light her boiler fires once or twice. She was burnt within the throe months; and the question before us has been whether, at tho timo she was burnt, she was covered by that policy.

The circumstances which existed at the time the policy was made, relative to its construction, and the circumstances attending the loss relative to the application of that construction to the loss, appeared to be as follows:—Tho ship was lying in the Victoria Docks, and was to be repaired in a dry dock. The Thames Graving Dock, in which the ships were lifted by pontoons, so as to be dry, was adjoining to the Victoria Docks, but tho width of this ship prevented her from going into this pontoon dock. Lungley's Dry Dock, distant about two miles up the Thames from the Victoria Docks, was the nearest that could receive the ship conveniently; and, for the purpose of entering thore, it was necessary to remove the lower half of the paddle-wheels. This was done in the Victoria Docks; aud the parts of the wheels were deposited in a barge there, and the ship was towed up to Lungley's Dock, and tho necessary repairs were nearly completed there in tho course of two months, Then the ship

was towed down to the Government buoy off Dentford, within 600 or 700 yards of the Victoria Dock, and moored there for the purpose of having the pans of the paddle-wheels replaced there. The utmost despatch was used in performing this work; and it wy nearly completed in ten days. While this was heim done, other work was in progress in order to make th< ship fit for sea; but there was no delay on this I4 count, and nothing turned on this work. Then thi ship was burnt at her moorings.

The evidence shewed that it was usual with tti great shipbuilders in the Thames, for ships of gred width, which had taken off the half of their paddls wheels for the purpose of going into dry docks, to I in the Thames after coming out, while the parts q the paddle-wheels were being replaced; and that tU mooring of the plaintiff's ship in the river while ill process was performed was according to the won usually followed by them in respect of ships wu paddle-wheels had been in like manner, and for n same purpose, removed. The evidence further shew that the plaintiff's ship might have been taken bad into the Victoria Docks without being moored in ili Thames, and that the paddle-wheels might have b« replaced in those docks, but that the expense of B work in the docks would have been four time great as it was in the river.

It was said that the work could be more cann niently performed in the Thames than in the docin but this was not explained to have any meam't;; l» yond the expense.

The evidence further shewed, that in the Victim Docks there were very careful precautions to prevent damago by fire—watchmen at all hours, numerous fire brigado always ready, policemen and ote »j vants of the company trained to the use ot fai engines, and carpenters ready to scuttle a ship on firt together with an ample water supply from stand pipd in many places; while in the river, it was said, there were only three floating engines, placed at siderable distances from each other, and that nearly hour elapsed between the breaking out of the fite the arrival of the first of these engines.

There was evidence, that in offices of great portance, such as the Sun and the Phoenix, the mium was the same whether the ship lay in the rm or a dock. But in these offices the same rate M been continued from a far distant time: and tie* fendants objected, with good reason, as we thinM their rights under this contract wero notbe*"* by the rights of parties under other contact*" other companies.

These being the facts, the defendants ■ that the ship was not covered by the policy»' timo of the loss, on three grounds—first beeaia* ship was not lying in the Victoria Docks, or in * * dock adjoining thereto; secondly, because was not in any dock; and, thirdly, because was not in a dock nor in transit from a dock to within the meaning of the policy.

As to the first aud second grounds, the di contended that the words " lying in the Victoria with liberty to go into dry dock," confined t either to the Victoria Docks and the dry dock ing thereto, or to the Victoria Docks and dock, and excluded the risk in the transit dock to another. But in respect of these gro' think that the defendants failed. As to ground, the words of the policy do not cxr the liberty is confined to any particular dryd' although it is probable that both parties exp« tho pontoon dock would be used, and neitl knew that the relative admeasurements of the & that dock would prevent the adoption of tM «■ still effect is to be given to the words in their ordinary meaning, and the liberty to go into dry dock is unre Kricted in expression. If the defendants intend to confine the liberty to the pontoon dock only, they most express their intention more clearly.

As to the second ground, if the plaintiff had liberty

to resort to any convenient dry dock, we think the

policy covered the ship while the plaintiff used the

Hberty so given to him thereby. The description is

in the nature of a condition; the defendants insure

rea months, provided the ship is in the situation

^■astioned in the policy; that is, in either dock, or in

'Ike necessary passage from the one to the other.

• We are aware, that under this construction the

^■aiatiff would be uninsured as to all risk from col

Hpon or the like in the river during transit, and that

the defendants would take an undefined liability in

<be river if the plaintiff might choose a dry dock

Sfc an undefined distance from the Victoria Docks.

But notwithstanding these considerations, we are

Bought to the construction above stated, and decide

^^Ht the defendants on the first two grounds on

which they relied.

As to the third ground above stated, we think that Hp defendants are entitled to succeed. We think that ihe ship was not in a dock, nor in transit from a . hi dock within the meaning of the policy. We JDsda tint the risk contemplated by both parties was *Wickly the risk of fire in a dock; and although fie defendants are held, by implication, to have undertaken so much risk in the river as was essential for the exercise of the liberty of transit from dock to bet, yet this risk in the river is limited to that transit, and does not, in our judgment, extend to any time ming which the ship stopped in the river, not for the ^^■poK of that transit. A few hours were all that rcrald have been required for that purpose. The der of ten days was for the purpose of replacing the idle-wheels; and there was no proof that they could ^Hpve been replaced, as well for the ship, although ith more expense, in the docks where they were taken E, and were left till the ship returned. The risk in the ■•t appears much greater than in the docks, by rea^Hithe absence of many appliances to secure against

» wkch were available in the docks. ^Hapkintiff placed much reliance on the fact above biad,that it was usual with the great shipbuilders, *r repairing such ships as the plaintiff's, to replace hi paddle-wheels in the river. But the question here pend on the course of business usual with but upon the contract of these parties, prepared for sea in the dock of a shippier in all respects, except the paddle-wheels, tho B|of which is of necessity postponed, in order that v pass out of the dock, it might well be tho a* and cheapest course for the ship to lie at a con^■t place in the river to receive those wheels, and ^■Boceed on her voyage. Time and money would Hubly be wasted by sending her into another dock. his contract the insurance is confined by press terms to the docks; and though it is exI by implication to tho necessary passage from ";to the other, there is no implication that it i made to extend to lying in the river for any I repair. The paddle-wheels were not csscn: purpose of moving the ship into the docks, i power which brought her to her moorings taken her on to tho docks. According to struction, the ship was not covered unless she bcV directly from one dock to the other. She did *» pass, but was delayed ten days; and this delay owing to any cause connected with the pasl& It follows, that during those ten days the de«ti were not liable.

The rule, therefore, for entering a verdict for the defendants, or a nonsuit, must be mado absolute.— Rule absolute for a nonsuit.
