Local Appeal Case. I Interesting to Shipowners. 1 To-day the Court of Appeal, consisting ot the Master of the Rolls and Lords Justices Smith and Rigby, gave judgment in the appeal of the plaintiffs in the actions of the General Insurance Company, Limited, and the Leo Steamship Company, to recover large sums of money under policies of marine insurance on the steamship Inchulva, of London, and the steamship Leo, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, both of which vessels had become total losses. The Ship, owners' Syndicate, consisting of 30 shipowners of London, Cardiff, Newport, and other ports had insured ships to the extent of six and a half millions sterling, but up to the beginning of the present year they had sustained heavy losses, and some of the members of the syndicate bad become insolvent. Mr Justice Mathew, who tried both actions, held that the solvent members were not liable to pay the sums underwritten by the insolvent members of the syndicate. The Master of the Rolls now upheld this view, stating that the members of the syndicate were only liable to the extent ot the sums they bad underwritten, and that there was nothing to alter the Insurance law in the special clause contained in both the policies, or to render the members of the syndicate severally and jointly liable. The other members of the Court concurred, and the appeal was dismissed with costs.
