Sir WILLIAM SCOTT took a survey of the different
;nor...dined shies bad been instituted in this rase;
and she, commenting upon the wore of the Wave,
adverted to the mourns. opinion that appeared to
prevail is some parrs of the world, that King's skips
were not willed to salvage.nioney. However, the
Court might feel disposed is some rrrrr to allot
larger,compensatlons in private merchant ships, it
was to be remembered that mach more effectual as.
'Wangs could at all tinsel be given by a King's ship,
from the greater number of hands. and the larger
quantity of stores on beard her. It was not merely
because they were King's ship., hat for the general
benefit of commerce and navigation, that they arre
to be so eocoeraged. It was pleaded on the part of
the owners, that at the time of the vessel's being
boarded from the Salome, the hurricane had ceased;
it might have d, indeed, but it left pretty strong
vestiges of its violence behind it ; the ship was di..
masted; and. in short, in such • condition, Ili to in.
duce Capt. Webster to apply for Captain Bowen's
Immediate assistance. That as.istatice, after some
consideration, which rellected much credit on the
prudence and coisdect of Captain Bowen, ass given,
and in a most effective manner. After observing upon
some irregularities in the pr dings of the lower
Coes!, the Learned Jody observed, be felt himself
justified in swardiog, as the amount of salvage, one.
eighth of the value at which the ship end cargo sold
(via 40,0001.),0hich one-eiggih,or 5,0001.1ie thought
the salvors folly *stilled to ; and in consideration of
the greet delay that had token place, which appeared
to be in no way attributable to any neglect on their
pert, he further decreed the sem of 1,0001. in corn.
pensalion for interest, making together the sem of
6,0001. the mosso for which the ship and cargo were
bailed at Trineessileat.
