Judge Robertson, acting as Chief Justice, de-

The e. ST ground on which the motion TO dismiss

ize the court to exercise admiralty jurisdiction, and
to seize and detain the vessel.

forth IN the libe are such entite the libeflants
TO the aid of Admiralty process. The court has
already decided that the execution, in aid of winch
process of detention is pray ed for may stan; and
thai the belants by virtue of their levy under the
liudpmeut and execution against Post x Co., have
tbecome s far subrogated TO their rights as part

that because 1t happens to take the shape OF yes
