Ordered-That Messrs. John Ponsonby, Joseph Al- licocke, Samuel Hake, Richard Yates, William Seton, Hugh Wallace, and Gabriel H. Ludlow, be a Committee untill the first Tuesday in Oct. next, to hear and deter- mine Disputes between Parties submitting such to their judgment, and that they do report their proceedings to this Corporation.
DISPUTES having subsisted between Robert Wilkins, assured, and John Porteous218 & Patrick Reed, assurers, on the Kitty and Polly from St. Augustine to New York, which was referred by the Magistrates of Police to the Monthly Committee, who thought that as their decision might be brought into precedent, prayed the opinion of the Chamber at large, who having heard the Evidences, it did appear :
That the Kitty and Polly departed from New York to St. Augustine, where the Factor was to load her back to New York ; before the Owners heard of her Arrival there they caused Insurance to be made from St. Augustine to New York on Vessell and Goods.
Her fate was not known when a dispatch Vessell arrived from St. Augus- tine, the master informed that the Kitty and Polly 219 was to sail from St. John's River, a member of St. Augustine, the same day, or about that time that the dispatch Vessell departed; on which the Broker, at the desire of Mr. John Tench, was directed to inform the Assurers of that circumstance, and to learn their opinion whether the risque was still good. The Broker related that he had waited upon Mr. John Porteous, one of the underwriters, who replied that he considered the Vessell out of time, and therefore declared off the risque, but did not see Mr. Patrick Reed, the other underwriter. The as- sured was advis'd presently that after that it would be best to avoid difficul- ties to offer the Assurers an advance premium, rather than leave the mat- ter in an uncertain state ; if that could not be effected to promote a new In- surance, which could not be procured, when the Assured desired the Broker to propose to the underwriters to leave it to reference whether the Assurers
288
NEW YORK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
were on or not : His evidence was that they, or one of them, totally declined a submission to an award of Arbitrators. These overtures were before the fate of the Kitty and Polly was known. All the parties attended who had an Agency in this business, and it was generally agreed that the risque from St. John's River was rather less hazardous than from the Harbor of St. Augustine, and the Assurers themselves acknowledged that they would as readily have wrote from St. John's River, as from the Town of St. Augustine, when the application was first made.
It may be remarked that Mr. John Tench as well as Mr. Robert Wilkins were interested in this Vessell and Cargo. That all the Insurance for the concerned was directed to be done by Mr. Tench. That Mr. Tench having doubts, when the dispatch Boat arrived, about the Vessell's sailing from St. John's instead of St. Augustine Harbor, he applied to the underwriters on his Policy, who agreed that a note should be made thereon, taking the risque from St. John's. This led him to make the same application to the Assu- rers on Mr. Wilkins' policy, through the Broker, which was done without the privity of Mr. Wilkins, and he (Mr.Wilkins) knew of nothing being done therein untill the underwriters, or one of them, refused to continue the risque. From all the Facts being collected, and that it appears by the Protest of the Master that he sailed in and with the said Kitty and Polly, at the time the Master of the Dispatch Vessel did ; that she was taken the third day after her departure, and sent into Georgetown.220 Two points arise that are dis- putable.
Ist. WHETHER St. John's River can be considered at and from Augus- tine, and
2d. WHETHER, if so, that the underwriters are held to pay the loss, as they declined being on the Risque after they had declared off, before it was known she was taken.
TO THE FIRST it was debated and generally acknowledged that St. John's is the principal port of Newfoundland, as Kingston is the principal port of Jamaica, yet that if a Vessell is insured from Newfoundland or Jamaica, tho' she sails from an outport, so [although] the Kitty and Polly sail'd from St. John's River in St. Augustine it is held to be valid.
TO THE SECOND, when it was asked, and the underwriters declared off the Risque, it did not appear to the Chamber that they were discharged because it was requiring their sentiments to avoid Disputes, and the assured never gave up his Claim.
This Corporation divided thereon, and a great Majority were of opinion that the Underwriters were bound to pay a total loss agreeable to the Policy.
Mr. John Strachan having been proposed at a former

Mr. TREASURER reported that he had rec'd from Mr. McEvers, former Treasurer, the Books belonging to this Corporation, and
The President laid before the Chamber a Letter rec'd from Mr. McEvers, which was read, and ordered to be entered on the Minutes.
SIR,
My Friend Colonel Cruger 221 this Morning communicated to me that the Chamber of Commerce have (in consequence of my silence on a Letter rec'd from you as their representative, and from Mr. Van Dam) conceived an opinion of an intentional contempt to a Body corporate for whom I would wish to testify every mark of respect and esteem. As I ever have thought myself much honored in my appointment as an Officer to that Board, I of course do and shall continue to feel with greater concern the information received through my Friend.
In the first place, I beg leave to say that the Idea of Contempt is re- moved from me beyond any descriptive distance ; and in the next place, that the cause of my silence was founded in the hope of long before this to
· 294

have separated from my present small dependence as much as would have enabled me to have answered the purport and requisition of your Letter. This, with concern, I may say that I am not yet able to do, and that my wishes in this respect have long been thwarted by many in this City, who can and ought to give me my own. The Book and other matters in my charge belonging to the Board shall be sent to your present Treasurer on my return to my country Quarters ; and I have only to add that you will, I hope, at your next Meeting, do me the justice to represent the anxiety I have expressed to you on this occasion.
I am, with regard, Sir,
Your most obd't serv't,
CHARLES MCEVERS.

NOTE.
The Colonial Records properly close with the Meeting of 6 May, 1783.
The Colonial period may be considered to have ended with the evacuation of the City by the British and its occupation by the Ameri- can forces on the 25th November, 1783.
In the spring of 1784 " a Number of the Members of the Chamber and other Citizens, on their return to this City, taking into Considera- tion the state of the Chamber, and being advised by Counsel that the Charter of the said Chamber had been forfeited and lost by reason of the Misuser and Nonuser of the same, they thought it most adviseable to petition the Legislature for a confirmation of the said Charter * the Legislature taking the same into Consideration granted the Prayer of their Petition, and did, on the Thirteenth day of April, pass a Law Intitled 'An Act to remove doubts concerning the Chamber of Commerce, and to confirm the Rights and Priviledges thereof."'
A Meeting was held on the 20th April, 1784, and the Chamber was reorganized. The Act of the Legislature altered the name of the Institution to THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
