Description
Mr. Henry Flanders, for the appellant: 1. The testimony shows that the adjusters expected confidently that the freight, insurance, &c., would reimburse them, and, therefore, that they agreed to pay and did pay the bottomry bond. The testimony of the two sons of Kimball shows this. Higgins's own testimony shows it no less; for he says that his firm was employed 'to take up the bond.' The bottomry lien being thus once extinguished is not revived–especially is not revived against an innocent purchaser for value–because the adjusters expected to get money which they failed to get. The present case is one of every-day occurrence. The adjusters anticipated uncertain profits, and did not get them. For this, their own error of judgment, they must themselves suffer.
