Insurance of
enemies goods
Whenever a man insures the goods of another
who is the subject of a state with which
our own state is at war, the latter state is by such
arrangement exposed to two dangers or inconveniences:
1. the trade of the enemy nation [which is the
source of its power] is may be facilitated: 2. the underwriter
to save the goods he has insured from himself from loss
being captured may give notice to the enemy
of the fitting out and sailing of our cruizers . But the first
mischief amounts to nothing unless two conditions
concurr: 1. that the enemy, if he could not get
his goods insured here could not get them
insured any where else: 2. that if he could
not employ his capital in the branch of trade conduct
in question he could not employ it in any
other that would produce equal profit be equally advantageous to him .
In like manner the second mischief amounts
to nothing unless the underwriter be so circumstanced
as to have it in his power to furnish
intelligence which but for him the enemy would
not have be provided with : nor then unless the facility
be so great as to coin outweigh the infamy
and the risk of treason. Thus stands the inconvenience.
