BOTE, bota, in our old law books, signi- 
fies recompence or amends: thus man-bote, 
is a compensation for a man slain. There: 
are likewise house-bote and plough-bote, pri- 
vileges to tenants, of cutting wood for making 
ploughs, repairing tenements, and likewise 
for fuel. 
BOTTOM, in navigation, is used to denote 
as well the channel of rivers and harbours, as 
the body or hull of a ship: thus, in the former 
sense, we say a gravelly bottom, clayey] 
bottom, sandy bottoip, &e. and in the latter 
sense, a British bottom, a Dutch bottom, &c. 
By statute, certain commodities imported in 
foreign bottoms, pay a duty called petty 
customs, over and above what they are liable 
to if imported in British bottoms. 
BOTTOMRY, in commerce, a marine 
contract for the borrowing of money upon 
the keel or bottom of a ship ; that is, when the 
master of a ship binds the ship itself, that if

ed, the creditor shall have the ship. 
Bottomry is also where a person lends 
money to a merchant, who wants it in U-aflic, 
and the lender is to be paid a greater sum at 
the return of the ship, standing to the hazard 
of the voyage ; on which account, though the 
interest be greater than what the lavv com- 
monly allows, yet it is not usury, because! 
the money being furnished at the lender’s! 
hazard, if the ship perishes he shares in the! 
loss. 
It is enacted by 19 Geo. II. cap. xxxvii.l 
that after August 1, 1746, every sum of mo-| 
ney lent on bottomry, upon the ships of anvj 
subjects to or from {lie East Indies, shall bel 
lent only on the ship, or the merchandizes! 
laden on board her, and so expressed in the! 
condition of the bond; and the beneiit cq
