This was an talon brought by the Plaintiff agatbst
die Defutidant, as owner of the Swedish ship
Forsoken; for wages-and otherexpences due to
him, for services performed and done, as Captain of
the said ship.
It appeared thaf this ship was purchased by the
Defendant in the:year 1803, at Boulogne, through'
the medium of a Mr. De. La :Fontine, who was
a friend of his ; but he, 11115 Defendant, did not
think proper that she should be purchased in his
own name,- although he had been heard to confess
that she was his own vessel. The Plaintiff having
formerly had some conneEtions with the Defendant,
became acquainted with him; and on this occasion,
he employed him 'to command the vessel. She
sailed tram Boulogne to Dunkirk, from thence to
London, where she was chartered to go to True-
r*. It. was on 'this voyage that the Plaintiff laid
moneyfor the paytneut of seamen's wages, and
other expences, which be claimed, along with his
own service-money, from the Plaintiff.
The question in this case was, whether the De-
fendant was really the Owner of the vessel or not ;
there not being .autlicient proot that he was so, to
maintain an action at law, the Plaintiff thought it
necessary to exact an acknowledgment and conies-
. lion that he was the.ownet, from the Plaintiff hint-
itch: FM* this, purpose; he sent Mr.. Benjamin
Sirtith, a ship-broker) and a Mr. Wood; a Spa=
nish interpreter (the Defendant being a Spaniard),
to his house in Craven-street, in the Strand, fOr the
purpose of ascertaining the ~faciethat he Was•the
owner.,. They Called upon him, and, represented
to him, that there was • some Money dne `to the
owners of the ship Forsoken, and they were de-
sirous of knewing.the.real owner.' The Defendant .
Ituniediawly declared, 'both in Spanish and.
Loh, -that- he was the owner of the Vessel, and that
ivhatever"money was due on that ship's account, he_.
bad a right `to claim; adding, at the •salne
that he had never • yet received any...money on that
ship's account. In; conseqUence of-this
ledgment; he. Wii3 ilia -.very day arrested at the •suf
of the'Plainte' • • • •

'Pedro- Latiridot stated,. that 'he Was employed
to sell the'ship' Forsoken, Bilboa, in Spain, and
the produce theideor he paid to Ilia 7a'ecount Of the.
Plaintiff; Mr..l-hilin-; into the-hands of Gotnez and..
Co. bankers, at Bilboa, these Gentlemen being:the'
agent's of Mr.
.Loict ELLENBOROUGH observed to the ATTORNE.
GENEIIM., who conduaed the ,-action, ILA .the.
main-evidence in this case appeared in fin out: of
the Defendant, and It would
.be better for him to
be nonsuited now, with' a'view to his making out
a better .cat.e some—other time, for his. .client.
this the Learned Attorney agreed, wiled the Plain-
tiff was—Nonsuited,
