Book Description
Excerpt from A Defense of the Rule of the Admiralty Court in Cases of Collision Between Ships: In a Letter to the Right Honourable Lord Selborne, &C. &C My Lord, The very kind manner, in which you were pleased to receive the few observations which I lately addressed to you on the subject of the Admiralty Rule in cases of Collision between Ships, encourages me to lay before you, at somewhat greater length, the reasons which have led mo to think that the Admiralty Rule should be preferred to the Common Law Rule in these cases. I am the more induced to do so, as it would seem from your Lordship's letter that the question is still open to consideration; and I doubt not that discussion will, as your Lordship observes, "lead to a sound conclusion in the end." Your Lordship, on bringing in your Bill for the reform of the Judicature, is reported in the "Times" of the 14th ultimo to have expressed yourself as follows: - "In respect of collisions at sea, it is proposed to do away with a rule which now holds good in the Court of Admiralty, and to adopt in its stead the rule of Common Law, as being more applicable to the general principle of contributory fraud or contributory negligence. The rule of law is, that if the plain-"tiff is in the wrong he cannot recover from the Defendant, and if the Defendant is in the wrong he cannot recover from the plaintiff. But what the Court of Admiralty does is this: If two ships run into each other, and both go to the bottom, as I understand the practice, the Court of Admiralty adds the value of both ships, and then divides the total between the two parties; so that if I were the owner of a ship worth only 10,000l. and one of your Lordships was the owner of one worth 50,000l., you see how well I should fare in comparison with the owner of the better ship if both vessels went down after a collision."
