Hutchings v. Pinsent: Plaintiff is a shipowner and coal merchant, Teignmouth; defendant, a brewer and coal merchant, Newton: Action to recover £18 for demurrage. Mr. Watts for plaintiff: Mr. Creed for defendant: Plaintiff brought a cargo of coals of about 250 tons in a vessel from Newcastle to Teignmouth Harbour. The vessel arrived in the harbour on the 26th Dec., and the following day the captain (Capt Finch) went to Newton and saw Mr. Holmes (defendant’s manager), and acquainted him of the arrival. It was arranged that the cargo should be conveyed to Newton in barges, and the vessel ought to have been cleared out, according to the plaintiff’s statement by 6th of January. The coals, however, were not completely taken away until the 15th. Hence the charge for demurrage: — The defence was that inclement weather was the cause of the delay, and there was a saving clause in the charter to the effect that the defendant was not liable. After hearing a number of witnesses, his Honour adjourned the case to the next Court.
