a4E,;., 11.11,1/sted, that tlus was an aeian of Troyer,
041r0Wing ebetiptincee —ln the moot h
. Ale. the }hip John. and William failed from
Sittinii;inTar England, and was (handed on Saley
Niteli, Weir Lymingtein. Two pilots went on board.
and by their advice and direelinn, application was
made to the Defendant, Mr. Day, at Cowes, in the
Ifle of Wight, fur an anchor and a cable. There
articles were procured, but ton late to be of any (*cr-
ake ; for by the time they got to the (hip, het head
was drove in. A (retold application WAS then made
to the Defendant for all the help and affirlance negef-
lacy for Paving the cargo, and accordingly he fent
boats and men, and the Cullom-hoe& Offices s alto
attended. The cargo was unflaipped into the Defen-
dant's boats, and carried en Shore under the care and
luperintendance of the Officers of the Revenue, where
they were put under locks and keys, one key being
kept by the mate, the ether by the revenue officers
Some days were (pent in unloading the (hip, daring
which the, Defendant lent the mate 3001. to pay the
(curio's wages, which (urn he afterwards returned to
the Defendant, and therefore it formed no part of
the prefent difpute. The law, in a cafe of-this kind, I
allowed the (Avers to make a claim for falvage befort
the Sheriff, Magifirate, or Mayor, neareß the (desert
mofl contiguous to the place where a veffel might be
Co (handed. The Defendant claimed 18 i 61. 161. id.
as falvage, which, of courfe, was to be paid propor-
tions amongft thole who had been allive in prefereing,
the cargo from deftrtrOion, but with this demand
the Plaintiff refaced to comply, and appealed to
the Magilirates neareß to the fpnt, to determine the
quantum of (singe. The Magiffratis accordingly'
met on the ad of January Ink, but as the Defen-
dant did not attend, they adjourned till another'
day, When they made an adjodicadon and award,
by which, inftead of tBs6l. r6r. 2d. the falvage de-
minded, they only allowed the fum of 9141. rm.
A copyof thisadjudication and award was let-red upon
the Defendant, in order that the Plaintiff might ob-
tain the eargb, and the above turn was tendered to
him ae. the falvage, bar he Wetted to take it, or deli-
ver hp the cargo, which he kept under the AR of
Patliimek. The elution, therefore, for the deter-
minetion of the Court was, whether the adjudication
and award by the Magitirates, was conclutive againa
the Defendant or not? Mr. Eafle proceeded to argue,
that it was from the flatute of the 12th of gneon
Anne, chap. 73, which Rated that great complaints
were made of 'hips, foreign as well as Eritifh, (Iran.
ded upon the coaß, being barbaroully plundered by
her Majefty's fubjelts, and that even if any part of
the cargo was fared, it was generally (wallowed up
hi' the gammons falvage demanded by the flavors.
Now Mr. Eafie contended, that mirchief was as
likely to be apprehended from melons called in to
a4ll,as from thole who voluntarily offered their ler-
vices. • The•ecniables and revenue officers lent their
aisi.aadthere was no penalty on them if they did hot,
foe she Legiflature had the emolument refulting from
the falvage in contemplation for them, when it (of-
fered them to interfere—but a penalty was impofed
on the Officers of the (tmen'Alips tiding at anchor,
fkould they not take every means for preventing the
Alp going afhore. Thus, in the one cafe, he conten-
ded the few was direetory, while in the other it was
compahtory. The next claufe in the AEI was more
liberal, for it ensiled that oil others who (houid aB,
or be employed in Caving the velfel or cargo, fhould
within 3o days thereafter be paid a reefonable firm for
their trouble I and that. in the meats time, the- 'hip
and cargo (lipoid remain in the cuftody of the Cullom
Houle °access until fuck compenfatiem fhould,be
paid. The law thus featly laid, that all perfonsattim,
whether orefloyai or am, &Laid be entitled to a tea-
fnreeble reward for fo doing- The reefon why a em.
fostailiicervac dhotis fo minutely Rated in the. Aft. he
took to be the frequent exorbitant demands of (alarm
for falvage I the Legifleture had thus, in his opining,
by mentioning the words o reafenaile reward' been
anxious, as far as it could, to prevent any undue ad.
vantage being taken over the veffels in ditirefs. • -
Lord E LLLLL earatroe allied Mr. Eatie. u-hether
he-meant to fay, the Court could extend the Aa of
Pat bateau to this cafe, where the frefh application
for aif fiance had not been made to the Cullom-
Horde Officers. His Lordfhip rather thonght the
plaintiffs is the beginning bra not brought thetrifelves
within the An, and the Coati mull retret that they
had not dowse fo.
Mr. Easra replied, that it was a well known fa&
that 'rails in diarefs were espied to moll extrava-
gant demands for aid and sibilance. Suppofing no
application, as was the cafe in the rodent inflance,
114 been made at fieß wale Cullom Finnic Officer;
he kruld wills to knoW what fo reign vcffela, in the
eerie Situation, wouldhave done ; or to whom they
would !laic firtt applied ? They knew nothing of Cuf-
tom Houle Officers, in cafe of filch emergency, and
would, of c us Cc, have availed themfelves nfothr *M-
alice of the firß pilots who might have bearded them.
