Taylor  (r).  A  ship  had  been  chartered  to  take  cargo  to  the  Cape
of  Good  Hope,  and  thence  to  go  with  all  convenient  speed  to
Bombay,  and  there  load  a  cargo  of  cotton  from  the  charterers.
She  discharged  her  cargo  at  the  Cape ;  but  then,  instead  of  proi
ceeding  direct  to  Bombay,  took  on  board  a  cargo  of  mules  and
cattle  and  carried  them  to  the  Mauritius,  on  the  captain's  account.
There  was  thus  a  delay  of  six  or  seven  weeks  in  reaching  Bombay,
and  the  charterer  refused  to  load.  The  jury  was  asked  to  say
whether  the  delay  was  of  such  a  nature  as  "to  put  an  end  to  the
ordinary  objects  the  freighter  might  have  had  in  view  when  he
entered  into  the  contract,"  and,  their  answer  being  in  favour  of
the  charterer,  he  was  held  excused  from  loading  (s).
Dissolution  of  the  Contract.
