    INTEREST — Limited Liability of Shipowners — Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862 (25 & 26 Vict. c. 63), s. 54.
    Nov. 23. SIR ROBERT PHILLIMORE. This was a suit for limitation of liability, brought by the Northumbria, the wrong doer in a collision with the Hesperia. The Northumbria pleads that the collision occurred without the actual fault or privity of the owners, that the Hesperia has instituted a suit against her for the recovery of a sum of 12,000l., that one of the owners of the cargo has also brought an action against her, and that she has reason to believe that other suits will be brought by other owners; therefore she prays limitation of her liability under the statutes

    EVIDENCE — Examination taken by Receiver of Wreck — The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854 (17 & 18 Vict. c. 104), ss. 448, 449.
    SIR ROBERT PHILLIMORE. The words of the statute are so general, that I feel great difficulty in putting a restricted meaning upon them. But I think it cannot have been intended by the legislature that the plaintiffs in a salvage suit should have an opportunity of making use of statements made by witnesses whom the defendants have not had the opportunity of cross-examining. I am supported in this view by the case of Nothard v. Pepper. I must rule that the evidence is inadmissible in an inquiry such as the present.

  • The Helen R Cooper

    24 Jan 1871 LR 3 AE 339, Admiralty

    PRACTICE — Consolidated Causes.
    SIR R. PHILLIMORE. I see no reason why the Court should not make the order asked for by Mr. Cohen. There is no rule to prevent one of several consolidated causes being referred separately where it is convenient to adopt that course. I make the order asked for, but I reserve all questions as to the costs occasioned by the application.

    JURISDICTION — Lord Campbell's Act (9 & 10 Vict. c. 93) — Damages for the Death of an Alien caused by wrongful act, neglect, or default on the high Seas.
    Nov. 22. SIR ROBERT PHILLIMORE. During the argument of this case I stated that the question of jurisdiction appeared to me to be substantially the same as the question decided in the case of The Guldfaxe. But I thought it due to Mr. Williams, after the argument addressed by him to the Court, to take time to consider my judgment. Upon reflection I see no reason to depart from the principles I laid down in the case of The Guldfaxe. In that case the suit was brought against a foreign ship by the personal representatives of a person killed in

  • The Hickman

    23 Nov 1869 LR 3 AE 15, Admiralty

    PRACTICE — Tender — Costs.
    Nov. 23. SIR ROBERT PHILLIMORE. This is a case of salvage in which I pronounced the tender, or rather the two tenders taken together, to be sufficient. They amounted to 282l. Two questions were reserved for the further consideration of the Court. First: Whether, the sum awarded being under 300l., the Court, having regard to ss. 3 and 9 of the County Court Admiralty Jurisdiction Act, 1868, ought to certify for costs. I have considered all the circumstances of this case, and especially, though not solely, the small difference between the sum awarded and that which limits the jurisdiction of

  • Elphinstone v Purchas

    03 Feb 1870 LR 3 AE 66, Ecclesiastical

    Subsequent citations: 1.
    ECCLESIASTICAL LAW — Ornaments of the minister — Rites and Ceremonies of the Church.
    Feb. 3, 1870. SIR ROBERT PHILLIMORE. This case comes before me by letters of request from the Bishop of Chichester. The decree by letters of request was served on Mr. Purchas on the 9th of October, and the case was heard during last term. Mr. Purchas has not appeared to the citation, and the proceedings have therefore been carried on in poenam. I deferred my judgment in order to consider the various authorities that were cited and the arguments adduced by counsel — a burden which pressed the more heavily upon the Court, inasmuch as the case was heard ex

  • The Clara Killam

    02 Aug 1870 LR 3 AE 161, Admiralty

    JURISDICTION — “Damage done by any Ship” — The Admiralty Court Act, 1861 (24 Vict. c. 10), s. 7
