HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, FEBRUARY 18.
SAN JUAN. .

This was a case of seaman's wages, in which the services of the
party and the wages due were in no degree of dispute ; but it seemed
that a long depending question of ownership in the Court of Chan-
cery, between the original proprietors of the vessel and Messrs.
Thornton, Free, and Down, the bankers, had hitherto kept him out
of his claim.
Lord Srowsa.t., in giving judgment to-day said, by the proceed-
ings in Chancery it appeared that the San ADM had been trans-
ferred by Messrs. liebers and Co. to Messrs. Thornton and Co.
in satisfaction of and as security for large advances already made
to them and further advances that were then in anticipation.—
Ilia Lr:rdship, after reasoning on the hardship of keeping this
mariner out of his wages until the termitratiusi of a Chancery suit,
which might yet outlast the life of this uufurtuuate party, thaupit
he should be doing an act of coilvenient justice by decreeing the
payment of the wages. Messrs. Thornton and Co. could ht
ro
losers by this decree at such a stage of the proceedings, as the
wages must necessarily be allowed for in the ultimate settlenlert
of
the original transactions relative to this ship, whenever that settle-
dement might take place.
