Pilot
Pilot, a person taken on board at any particular place for the purpose of conducting a ship through a river, road, or channel, or from or into a port, defined in s. 742 of the (English) Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, as meaning 'any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof.' Pilots are established in various parts of the country, by ancient charters of incorporation or by particular statutes. The most important of these in-corporations are those of the Trinity House, Deptford Stroned; the fellowship of the Pilots of Dover, Deal, and the Isle of Thanet, commonly called the Cinque Port Pilots; and the Trinity Houses of Hull and New castle. For the general law on the subject of pilots and pilotage, see the Pilotage Acts, 1913 (2 & 3 Geo. 5, c. 31) and amending Acts and the Pilotage Authorities (Limitation of Liability) Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5 & 1 Edw. 8, c. 36).

Trinity house
Trinity house, a society at Deptford Strond, incor-porated by Henry VIII. in 1515, for the promotion of commerce and navigation by licensing and regulating pilots, and ordering and erecting beacons, lighthouses, buoys, etc., and stated in the preamble of 8 Eliz. c. 13 to be 'charged with the conduction of the Queen's Majesty's Navy Royal, and bound to foresee the good increase and maintenance of ships, and of all kinds of men trained and brought up to watercraft most meet for Her Majesty's marine service.'

Limited liability
Limited liability. At Common Law every person is liable, upon his contracts, up to the whole amount of his estate, and every partner is so liable upon all the contracts of the partnership. So extensive a liability being apt to prevent persons from engaging in business as partners, the statutes authorizing the construction of railways, etc., have always limited the liability of each shareholder to the amount of the shares held by him. Similar limitations, extending in some cases to double the amount of shares held, have also long been found (though not universally) in the charters of incorporated banks and insurance companies.Companies Acts.--Under the Companies Acts, limited liability means that the members are not liable beyond the unpaid-up part (if any) of the nominal amount of the shares in respect of which they are registered in the books of the company. When a share has been fully paid up, no further liability exists. As to shares which have not been fully paid up, see CONTRIBUTO...
