In this contract, the chances of benefit are equal to the insured and the insurer. The first actually pays a certain sum, and the latter undertakes to pay a larger, if an accident should happen. The one renders his property secure; the other receives money with the probability that it is clear gain.

bond
bond 1 a : a usually formal written agreement by which a person undertakes to perform a certain act (as appear in court or fulfill the obligations of a contract) or abstain from performing an act (as committing a crime) with the condition that failure to perform or abstain will obligate the person or often a surety to pay a sum of money or will result in the forfeiture of money put up by the person or surety ;also : the money put up NOTE: The purpose of a bond is to provide an incentive for the fulfillment of an obligation. It also provides reassurance that the obligation will be fulfilled and that compensation is available if it is not fulfilled. In most cases a surety is involved, and the bond makes the surety responsible for the consequences of the obligated person's behavior. Some bonds, such as fidelity bonds, function as insurance agreements, in which the surety promises to pay for financial loss caused by the bad behavior of an obligated person or by some contingency over w...

Hypothecation
Hypothecation [fr. hypotheca, Civ. Law, a pledge in which the pledges retained possession of the thing pledged, as distinguished from pignus, where the possession was transferred to the pledge. See Sand. Just; Sith's dict. of Antiq., tit. 'Pignus'], the act of pledging a thing as security for a debt or demand without parting with the possession. There are few cases, if any, in our law where an hypothecation in the strict sense of the Roman Law exists. The nearest approaches, perhaps, are the cases of holders of bottomry bonds, and of seamen to whom wages are due in the merchant service, who have a claim against the ship in rem. But these are rather cases of liens or privileges than strict hypo-thecations. There are also cases where mortgages of chattels are held valid, without any actual possession by the mortgage, but they stand upon very peculiar grounds, and may be deemed exceptions to the general rule.It means a charge in or upon any movable property, existing or future, created by...
