HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JUNE 17.
rug EARL OP Livagroot..
This was a case of salvage, rendered by a steam-boat,
the George the Fourth, to the above-named vessel.
The ship was on her return to the port of Bristol, laden
with a cargo of cotton and turpentine; and while coming
up the Bristol Channel, on the 29th of last November,
tha services for which a remuneration was now claimed,
were-performed. It was admitted that a salvage ser-
vice, extending over sixteen hours, had been rendered ;
and that the value of the ship aad cargo amounted to
96001. The steam-boat had on board, at the time,
130 passengers, who were, of course, much inconve-
nienced by this detention ; but they did not make any
claim for compensation. The owners of the merchant.
man had tendered, in a previous stage of the case, a
reward of 5001. to the sailors, for their exertions and
as-iltance; but, upon the arguments and facts being
rated to the Court, Lord Stowell decreed 75(1. with
tl:eir expenses.
