This appears clear from another part of the policy; for where the underwriters insure- against the wrongful acts, of individuals, they describe them by the names of ‘ pirates, rogues, thieves ’; then having stated all the individual persons, against whose acts they engage, they mention other risks, those occasioned by the acts of ‘ kings, princes and people of what nation, condition or. quality soever.’ Those words therefore. must apply to ‘ nations ’ in their collective capacity.”
