Williams, Respondent, vs. The Steamboat Morrisett, Appellant.
    1. In a suit against a boat begun before a justice, a statement in the account-filed that the demand is for services as “ deck hand” sufficiently shows that it is a lien.
    
      Appeal from St. Louis Law Commissioner’s Court.
    
    Marshall, Burke & Glover for appellant.
    
      J. B. Thompson, for respondent.
   Ryland, Judge.

This case is similar to the case of Jones vs. the same boat. The difference is, that the work charged in this case was done by plaintiff as a “ deck hand,” and not as a “fireman.” The same principles will govern this as that of Jones v. Steamboat Morrisett. That opinion is referred to. The judgment below is affirmed ; the other judges concurring.
