This was an action TO recover the sum Of Sl3069,
being an amount alleged to be due for wages. The
plaintiff shipped on board the ship Hlah as mate from
New York to New Orleans, the l4ih OF Deer. 1883
The action was brought against Mr.. Abraham Tanner
as owner Of said ship he being liable, TO fulfil his
captains agreement with the plaintiff. The defeRce
manly rested on this ground, VIZ. That the mate
had been engaged IN some smuggling transaction and
therefore, that his wages were Justly forfeited In an
swer this urged that the law which bore upon
the case in question had rot been passed until after
the commission Of the alleged against the mate;
therefore the Withholding OF hIs wages could not be
maintained, even admitting the right of the captain TO
refuse TO pay them. The law by which the captain
claimed such power having passed er post aco, after
the offence had been committed
FROM New orleans the lillian pTocceueu 10 llVVT-
pool the law advanced against the mate was an or
dnance Of the British government, and was issued
after the vessels sailed.
Judge Belts will probably deliver his decision to-
day.
