Excerpts from the London Chronicle July 10, 1810

A policy of insurance of a singular nature has been executed at Hull. Mrs. B., wife of an auctioneer in that town, being about to take a trip to London by sea, Mr. B. has insured 200l., upon her person and 50l., upon her wearing apparel. In case of capture by the enemy, the expense of her maintenance is to be defrayed by the underwriters. If the assured, on proof of capture, abandon his interest in Mrs. B., and thereby recover a total loss, the underwriters, in case of an exchange of prisoners, are not to lay claim to her person, for their own use and benefit; but it is stipulated that on her return she shall be restored to the arms of her affectionate husband, upon his repayment of the sum insured.--Hull Advertiser.
