In insurance of ships, it is a principle, that every circumstance of the ship's situation, as to time of departure, or being amissing, ship's situation, &c. material to affect the risk, and known to the person who wishes to insure, ought to be made known to the insurer at the time the policy is entered into; and upon this not being done, it was that the Lords voided a policy between these parties, and gave expenses against the insured.
