LICENCE.-(continued.)

of war licences.-(continued.)

the same rule prevails in cases of exportation, 499.
as to limitation of time in it, 500.

intention of grantor must be pursued, 500.

and there must be an entire bona fides on part of user, 500.

but in a case where licence was to expire on a day specified, but
ship did not sail till after that day, though goods were loaded be-
fore license is good, 500.

as to the port of shipment, 500.

the shipment must take place from port mentioned in licence, 501.
and it cannot be changed to another, though licences were granted to
ship goods from it, 501.

as to limitation of use of the licence to persons for whose benefit obtained,
501.

difference of opinion exists as to this point, 501.

a colorable appearance of its limitation to appointed persons, was held
sufficient in courts of common law, 501, 2.

but a court of admiralty under precisely the same circumstances as other
case, held otherwise, 502, 3.

see the cases set forth with the judgments in both courts, 501, 2, 3.

how construed, where it extends A. & Co. and other British merchants,
503.

licence to A. to ship goods is good, though it turn out that A. is only the
agent of the party interested, 504.

this judgment was confirmed, on motion for a new trial, 504.

but it is necessary that some connection should be proved to exist
between the persons to whom it was originally granted, and the users,
504, 5.

but a licence granted to A. of B. will not protect property, coming under
ship's papers, describing it to belong to A. & Co. of C., 505, 6.

as to licences granted upon condition, 498. 506.

the condition must be performed, 498. 506.

as to time they will endure, 506.

no longer than the war during which they were granted, 506.

as to licences granted by allies, 506.

cannot grant licence to trade in contraband articles, 506.

will not extend to prevent one state from granting such licence, if
she has no ally, 506, 7.

duly granted, legalizes trade in every respect, 507.

therefore insurance on an enemy's ship carrying the goods under the
licence was good, 507.

and such policy might be sued on during war, 507.

but not in name of alien enemy, unless lawfully resident here, 507.
