To-day Chancellor Salisbury has

formed them that they must recognize
Merritt as pilot, and give
him berth on the boat
If he wanted 1t, or they would re.
woke the licenses OF the owners To pre-
vent this they appeared before the chan
cellor and obia ned a restraining
order or preliminary Injunction,
The owners retained Brad ford & Van

was necessary for pilots to have the right
to go on any boat. IL It
were not so public servants would be
prevented from fulfilling public duties,
