tons to the proposed examination, aud on certi-
fcate having been made to the court, Judge
BlatchfOrd Overruled most OF the objections and
the proceedings were continued before the Reg
lister, An appeal having been taken to the Circuit
Court, Judge Woodruff considered the matter,
and yesterday filed long and deliberately writ
ten opinion The substance of the opinion is
intended that debtor should continue subject to
tue power OF the Court alter his discharge was
granted and his liability for his debts had ceased.
The latitude SAID to be given TO the power OF sum-

against which 1t would be difficult il not impos-

"A Suit that Grew Out OF q Mexican
Claim.
Before Judge Tappen.


Before Judge Tappen.
Edward Bissell, formerly purser In the navy,
has brought suit against Catharine SprattO and
Others to restrain them from collecting the pro-
ceeds OF judgment in their favor made by the
Mexican Claims Commission, alleging that there is
conspiracy to deraud him out of his interest in
the Judgment, amounting to one-half the
amount. The case is complicated one.
The complaint sets forth PLAINTIFFS case
as fOllOwS:-ln 1855 one Moses L., Hellman had q
claim against the Mexican Republic or the United
States government for damages occasioned by the
illegal seizure and contscatlOn OF certain goods
Wnlcn had been seized and cOntscated by Me XIcan
officials In 1850. This claim Mr. Holman employed
the paintin to prosecute and collect, the writ
ten agreement that he should receive hall the
amount collected as his compensation. Plain
TN claims to have taken every necessary
step to collect the claim, ana in 1868
joint commission was appointed to meet
in Washington ana settle claims like the
plantln's, and including mis- claim. In 1855 the
said Hellman assigned all his right, title and in

hellman died. and when the claim came be ore
the High Commission the plaintiff was temporarily
insane and IN luuat1; asylum, and had appointed
one j. d. Bogert cO-de1endant, as his attorney to
prosecute the claim. This he did so successfully
that he obtained an award OF ST., SAT 60 with In
terest. Having succeeded in obtaining victory
by using us weapons, PLAINTIFF alleges that they
now propose to collect the money and exclude
him from his one-haf interest.
The defendants deny the charge of conspiracy
and say that the plaintiff did not carry out the
terms of the attorpeyship that his right to one
hall the claim was never recognized and that his
compensation was contingent upon his personal
insanity and therefore the consideration OF the
agreement failed.

The shipping Act-Important Decision
by Judge Woodruff

The shipping Act-Important Decision
by Judge Woodruff.
Judge Woodruff yesterday promulgated his de-
cision In the case OF the United States against the
steamship City OF Mexico for violation OF the
shipping act. This was an appeal from a decree Of
the District Court against her for the amount OF
penalty imposed on her by the fourteenth section
OF the act OF Congress OF June 7, 1872 called the
shipping Commissioners Act The steamship
sailed from New York to Havana in March,
1879 with crew on board which had signed
an agreement, but not before the United
states shlpplng Commissioner, as required
by the thirteenth section of said act. 1t
was claimed on behalf OF the snip that inasmuch
as she was engaged in trader between the
United states and the West India Islands, she was
IN tne purvlew OF the amendment passed January
TO- 1885, wncn provides that the twelfth section or
the act or June 7, 1872 ''shal not appyn to such
CURED TO make any agreement in writing or
print with the seamen, and was therefore not re-
CURED TO have the agreement, which was
cuted, signed In the presence OF the Shipping Com
missioner
The decision of Judge Woodruff Is very lengthy
and exhaustive one. In the course OF the decision
he sets forth the penalties OF this law then the
ried legslations relative to seamen In England and
In THIS country. leading up to this law, and finally
deduces the intent and meaning OF its sections,
confirms the opinion delivered in the District
Court and finds that the steamer City OF Mexico,
by the act complained of in the libel. incurred the
penalty declared In the second clause OF the
therein specified, ana in effect decides that the
steamer became liable to this penalty by reason OF
not having this agreement signed by each seaman
IN the presence OF the Shipping Commissioner.
