LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, MAY 16.
PAXTON AND MINES e. SID DONIR FOPDAM, ENT.

This was an action of debt, upon a hottomry bond
on the ship Van Stat Wanen, of which the Defendant
was a part owner, for money borrowed, bad, and re.
ceived, as it appeared upon the bond, to the amount
of 33751. in the East Indies. The Defendant pleaded
a special plea, stating that the debt arose upon a trans-
action on the sale and purchase of goods in the East
Indies, to be shipped to Europe, contrary to the laws
and regulations of the East India Company ; and the
bond was g►ven not for money borrowed, as was stated
in the bond, but as a security for the payment of this
debt, which arose upon an illegal transaction. To
this plea there was a demurrer.
Mr. Buaaouon, for the Plaintiff, now admitted,
that the- transaction, as stated, was illegal, and would
make the security void ; but he argued; that fur the
manner in which it was pleaded, it could not be taken
advantage of.
The Court, however, thought, that within the prin-
ciples of the recent decisions these facts were sufficiently
stated upon the record to avoid 'the bond, and there-
fore decided against the Plaintiffs ; but they said they
woold look into some of the cases cited, and if they
saw occasion would alter that opinion.

the opinion of the Court, upon a question whether a
Captain of a merchant ship, who by the law of .mpr-.
chants is empowered to hypothecate the ship for the
amount of repairs to he done to her abroad, and when
she wants repair; may take up money on bottomry for
that purpose, has a lien for money advanced' -by him.
self for r:pairs ?
In this case, the master Lactgot the ship repaired
abroad, and paid the persons who repaired her their
charges, and when he.ca me home, claimed alien upon
the ship for the amount.
Mr. SCARLETT was heard in support of the claim
of the master's, and Mr. MA un-AT a:zainst it.
The Cdurt held, that as no ease could be shewn to
give the master a lien, he must pursue the strict legal
course of pledging the ship to the persons making the
repairs, and if he paid the money himself, could have
no lien upon the ship.
