Collision of ships

Collision of ships, the striking or running foul of one ship against another. The remedy is either an action at law or a suit in the Admiralty Division. The possibilities under which a collision may occur, and the rules acted on by the Court of Admiralty, have been thus stated by Lord Stowell in The Woodrop-Sims, (1815) 2 Dodson, 85:-'In the first place, it may happen without blame being imputable to either party: as where the loss is occasioned by a storm or any other vis major, in that case the misfortune must be borne by the party on whom it happens to light, the other not being responsible to him in any degree.

It he who is entitled to common appurtenant purchase any part of the land which is subject to his right of common, that right is extinguished for the whole; and so, if he release his right over any part of the land. But it has been justly doubted whether in any case, and especially if all persons who have common appurtenant in the same land concur in discharg-ing some part of it, this legal trap should be allowed to operate, Burton's Comp., 8th Edn. 352. If one of the tenants of a manor purchase any part of the land over which he has a right of common appendant, his right over the rest will continue. So, on the alienation of any part of land to whi...
