WARE, j., PRESIDING.


In Admirdlty.-Claus Mindermeen, libel
liant, We. Reuben 5. Crowell. And James Wal
lace VS.. Same.
These were two libels brought before Court
yesterday for balance of wages due them as
seamen on board British brig Brill. Mnder-
meen shipped, according to the libel, on board
the brig at Havana, in the month of May, for
some port of discharge in the United States.
Wallace shipped at New York, in April, Tor a
voyage 10 Havana, or other port or ports in
the West India Islands, and thence TO some
port in the United States.
The vessel took a cargo for this port, arrived
here and discharged. and the libelants, claim
ing that their voyage was ended, left the ves-
sci, and brought these actions TO recover their
wages.
On the other side it is claimed that the
voyage did not end at this port, and that ac-
cording to the shipping papers the libellan,s
were bound to continue on board until the
brig reached the British Provinces.
II was alleged by libellants that there had
been some alteration or interineation in the
shipping papers since they were signed by
them.
Counsel for respondent set up The plea that
the cases were not within the jurisdiction OF
the Court, but were under that of the British
Consul. This was overruled by Judge Ware
and the hearing was proceeded with. The de.
cision Of The Judge is reserved until Tuesday
