Mems q ClaIk, of Boston, owners Of the brig

| they ADMIT IN their answer that the librlant hath
| demanded Of them payment nj this aim, al
lel ed in the libel, and that payment was refused,

services tlhFEtu AGAINST lilPF bTls anu JnfN III
lege that # services performed as master or

| sOnal credit of lttHi1m NcheR.ie, the former
owner Of the big, and hthec of the belanJ and
that no credit whatever was, by the lI6ellnt ever

the lbtlant, performed for the bIie or on her ac-

IL is further alleged in the answer, that VIM.

this brg, received od'ancements in money 10 ena-

| William VI kenzie, he did, in the month of Sep

this libeant
The proof in this case, to sustain the libel,
| comes from the father of the belant William
| Mckenzie, whose deposition has been read in evil
| ctnce. and this deposition, uncOntradIctrd and
unex planned, goes far to sustain the allegations IN
the libel, and, indeed, supports II at all points.
But the Court cannot overlook the clrcum-
stances and proofs which c0untemct the influence

proofs satisf, the Court that the demand set up
m the libel Is an unjust demand.
On its face il il stale demand; at any rate,
most of il is Of that character. Masters and
mates Of vessels do not often permit their wages
70 run IN, voyage after voyage, without asserting
their right 10 wages aud IN this case the freight

The legel presumption is that the wages have
been paid By the freight money earned on the sew
eral VOYAGES performed by he brig
IL is an equitable presumption also, that the
wages are not Que. The bbeant was agent Of the

made to him by Means & Cark to build the orig,
and there has been satisfactory proOfin the case
that the earrings Of the brig we're to be paid over
