bilging

bilging
As applied to a ship, to constitute "bilging" there must be a breach in the vessel, though the authorities differ as to the particular place which must be fractured. There is no bilging because a plank is almost worn through, if there is no actual breach. Nor will a bad straining which opens seams and lets in water constitute a bilging, although water thus injures the cargo. Ellery v Merchant's Ins. Co. 20 Mass (3 Pick) 46, 48.
