was an Embargo laid on us. They were not cer-
tain whether they should come on board the ship or
not ; and the Captain said, I will not receive you
without entering into'fi'Ah articles.
Lord ALVANLEV—NOW do let me understand
this—who were they Who Were to sign fresh arti-
cles as you continued on board why did not they,
continue ?—A. The ieason was this, he (the Cap.
taint wanted .to catch this to make them forfeit
their wages.
Q. 'Do you recollea as welt as you can, you say
they came back again after they had been absent
two days ?—A. He said they had forfeited their
wages 'by going away from the ship without leave,
and that he would not, let them come back without
fresh articles.

Q. 'You heard him say so, did you ?—A. I did. .1
O. Do you remember them going from on
board the ship ?—A. They•went c ttly •
•
-they went away as soon as they h. Em-
bargo.. They went away before w aken
out of the ship.
Q. When they heard of the Embargo they went
to their Consul.—As you told us before, you know
nothing.of what became of the Spaniard ?—A. He
got a ship to come home again.
Q. How much did you receive when you came
back to England, 'over and• above your wages, andi
which you say you ought to have had in-the Coun-
try ?—A. To the best of my knowledge, ether
four or five rubles.
Q. They did not pay you in rubles in
England—what did they pay you in English
money ? I see you will soon talk RusSian instead
of English ?—A. About dos. 6d: in English • mo_
ney, for the money I ought to have had when I
was in Russia, to do me good.
O. How much over and above your wages out
and home, did the Captain pay you after you ar_
rived in England ?—A.'Abnut los. 6d.
0. No more ;
.are sit& of that ? recoiled
yourself.

'Mr. Serjeant Sit tiiiiiiii--EThere was a contribu-
tion raised by the Briti&Veechants in Russia and
in England, and some part.of it, that was raised in
England, had not reached these sailors when they
were liberated, and-therefore they receieed that
part of it after they arrived in England.
ALVAM.EY—I am opinion, as they go for
wages during the,. time of the Embargo, it would
be but fair, as the Merchants in England might
think they were not entitled to wages, and for,that
reason they might advance them a sum of money—
I say it. would be but fair to set off that sum' as
against, their wages during that .period, if it shill
turn out that the Conn shall be of opinion they are
entitled to wages., It is ,a question of Law, whether
they are bound, to pay wages, during this Embargo :
if the Merehants, believing the sailors werr: entitled
to no wages, and in order to make• their situation
more comfortable, a considerable sum had been
paid; the sailors could-not take advantage off that ;
huts should have said, that ought to be taken in on
.account of wages.
-Mr. Serj-eant- COCKELL-That was paid on ac-
'count of their wages.

LOrd ALVAILEI-----If it was only' ios. 6d:- 'it is
not worth the talking about. If the Merchantsof this
Cotintry thought with very great Foreign Authori-
ties, that by Law, the mariners were not-entitled to
receive wages during that period, and they did what.
the hunfaritty of this-Country Called upon them to
'do, to make a compeugiltion for' wages 'they had
lost, and- for the :tigour they had suffered ; at.
the'same tUitesituriligun was only. received,
it is hardly worth Artitctallzirrg about. • • -
Mr. St 1-)eatt t SHetllet though a considerable-
sum 'of inot ey. was raised by contribution for the
English sailors, it is•nor the—wish I believe of the.
Merchants to'haVe it set off.
Lord ALVA:i: EY—A understand the IVlerchanti
-
,say, theLaxv ofTEngland, during an .Embargo,
thtsailors have nO right -to any thifq but nte.:
nante : some foreign awriters'say they are to
.have
wages-NOw, the Court is to decide whether they
are entitled to any 'wages,.anci what; or not.---Now,

-Q. Do you know what.freight was paid,—was it
SO much per month, or per yo; age The ship..
was chartered the freight.
,Mr. GAstLiE—The seamen's wages weri
the month.

Lord AI.VANLEY-State then in your case, what
the charter-party was. If by the Law of
,an,k;rovgo is_ only a suspension of the
a:interruption of the -contrad be-.
tween tlieufrithters, sailors, and merchants—if
the freight-Was at ps much per month, the freighter'
would continue getting freight
_all the time.—On
the other hand, if it was so much per ton'on the
voyage only, it .might • throw the hardship the
other way.
What . (his Lordship to the Witness), did you re-
ceive ?—A. When we came to England, he paid me
for the time I was on hoard the ship, but not for
the time I was in the country.
Q. And I suppofie he paid the others the same, and
you sad- that is all that has been paid you except
los. 6d ?—A. Yes, Sir.
Q. How muchh. IA ere• the anicles ?—A. Six gui-
neas and an half per m)oth.
Mr. Serjeant COCKELL—My Lord, 'that is all
on the written admissions, .

Mr. Serjeant'SH EPH ERD -,—The Charter.party, if
it .becomes material, ;may be stated.---My Brother
wishes to haveit stated.,

Mr. Serjeant COCKELL.—We shall take it from
be Charter-party. - . •
-Mr. Serjeant-SHEPHERD.-4 'have only one -or
evo farts to add.

Mr. Serjeant SILEPHERD, for the. .15efendan,
said to his Lordship and "th.v. jury--=As "this is Cer-
tainly to.be a Case, it is not necessary:4
take up these Gentlemen's. time.. It 1:,7`
of Law on the Fans, and whatever the is
must take place.

Mr. Serjeant CockELL,—Brother, before you
pot it I tlreitiftf to-know.linw yLIU make it
evidence ?

Lord ALYANLEY—It is evidence of the faa that

Mr. Serjeant 'Stlepticttp—it states this, my-
Lord, " Wherea3 lips Majesty, Zec.'.'
Mr. Serjednt Ns—lt. is le&al evidence there

Mr. Serjeaftt Si-1E1.1.11-AD stated the •stthytance
of it:
