Options are:
A. Both Boyle and Delaney.
B. Boyle only.
C. Delaney only.
D. Neither Boyle nor Delaney.
Answer:
A. Both Boyle and Delaney.
Explanation:
Boyle who has acted as a promoter of a corporation which didn't exist, was personally liable. Furthermore, Delaney is also liable here because it kept accepting the services of Austin's performance and later denied without cause which means the damages to Austin was caused by the company as well. So both of these parties are liable to Austin.
The Spanish Armada was commanded by King Phillip II of Spain to attack Britain in 1588. Queen Elizabeth I of England hired Sir Francis Drake to command the Royal Navy, which defeated the Spanish Armada using wind to blow flaming ships into their fleet.
Steam power originally developed slowly over a period of several hundred years until it reached to actual practical application at the beginning of the industrial revolution. The steam engine was one of the most important technologies of the industrial revolution. It was a simple device that used boiling water to create mechanical motion to be utilized in useful work.
Early mills used water power to operate and had to be located near running water such as a river which would freeze in winter and the water was not available, also in dry spells. Flooding would also stop operations. But by using a steam engine, a factory could be located anywhere and could operate the whole year round.
From mines to mills, steam engines found many applications in a variety of industries, improving productivity and technology such as Trevithick's high pressure engine that revolutionized transport. Steam engines found their way to boats, railways, farms and road vehicles.
