MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL.
The house Went into committee-Upon this bill.
Severat'ilauses having been agreed to, and others
poitperied;:: - • ; -
Lord WALSINGHAM proposed the omission of
clause 178„; whichenabled the commissioners for the re.
ductien of the national debt to establish. savings banks
in the p.e*cipAl pegte of the kingdom for. the savings of
sailors.: - to:tale clause on the.-ground that
savings :banks already existed in. those places,. and
cause Wi-restabiiiiied • a principle• which. -had: -been re-
peatedly- introduced - inter--the Savingi Bank 13111, and
- as .frequently• rejected; viz., giving- the commissioners
- power to appoint their own treasurer: •
-Lord-STANLEY of ALDERLEYsaid the object of
• the'clantd Was to 01.vide banks' where sailors could im-
mediatii-depOsit 'Weir money on landing, and to guard
them against thriseletnptatioas whichlco frequently led
to their dissipation of their. whole Wages. •
• Orr clause 181, • • -
Lord 'C..A.IIII3I3ELL. intimated that it was his inten-
tention
..to take, the opinion 'of the house. upon
this" Clause. It bad been Abe law not only of
thiS 6'61241'y-hilt -of every :othei-. nation, in the world',
-that if a ship-and her cargo were lost by the perils of the
ELI, the crew should not be entitled Co their wages. The
present clanse.would introduce a principle entirely soli
. versive ofthatuniversal law; and make our law different
to that of all other countries.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY did not think thi)
clause would effect so- sweeping -11 change of the existing
ILw i shad been mentioned. He defended' the clause;
on the-ground of justice to the sailor. It would be a
great haidship,. in the event; of a sailor being wrecked
on. returning home after a voyage of two- or three year 4
• to depliip him, of his wages for the whole of that period.
So strongly had this been felt that most liberal and fair-
minded'. shipowers never refused to pay wages when a
vessel was lost.
The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause
was agreed to.
