Exchange was defendant in suit brought by
five of her deck crew to recover months wages.
The men were hired at Pittsburg, and on the ar
rival OF the boat here. were paid off, as owing to
| the falling river it was uncertain whether she
could get back. After receiving their wages for
services performed, the men brought suit for the
| remainder of the month, and the Judge decided
in their favor, awarding each twenty dollars.
The points Of hi, decision were that as the men
we're shipped at Pittsburg, they would have to
be returned to that port by the boat, and could
not be paid off at any other port. According to
this decision, if the boat should enter any other
trade, and not return to Pittsburg, the crew
could still hold the boat for wages. AS soon as
process is issued against the Exchange she will
be bonded GU. and appeal taken.
