appeal was,-- whether Messrs. San";
Mercer, and Martin, of the firm of Mercer and Co., who we!,,
at one time owners of the ships, had ever legally transferred
their interest to Messrs. Sandy, Beckett, Reid, and Martin, vih,
afterwards constituted the firm of Mercer and CompanYt
whether these parties had legally transferred their interest
to Mackintosh and Company before the appellant's execution,
The case was argued by Mr. Sergeant Spankie and Mr• ft
lett, for the appellants, and they contended that Mercer had
never transferred his interest according to the requisites of
the Ship Registry Acts then in force, and that the property was
in him and his former partners, Sandy and Martin, at the tiniC
of the appellant's execution. They also contended that there
was no sufficient evidence of Messrs. Sandy, Beckett, Reid,
and Martin, having transferred their interest to Mackintosh
roduced at the trial, but onlY
and Co., as no bill of sale was p
