A few days ago we published a humor-
Gus paragraph. commenting upon a de-
cision of the United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals, wherein it was decided that
the engineer and hands employed upon a
dredge. or mud-scow. were seamen, with
I'm contemplation of the law. We have
now been furnished with a copy Of the
opinion OF the court, delivered by Judge
Brawley, and we quote enough of it TO
show the reasons for the courts decision:
In sustaining the libel, and decreeing
priority of lien on the proceeds Of the
sale OF the dredge, and its accompanying
gcows. in favor OF the tug for towage,
the court below has, in effect. decided
that the dredge was vessel and,
therefore subject 10 maritime lien; other
wise. II would have had no jurisdiction
If il was a vessel, then the intervening
libellants. the engineer and hands en-
ployed upon It. in doing the work which
it was engagedbto do. must be considered
as seamen, and entitled to priority of
payment. for the ship has from the
earliest times been recognized as the pri-
mary security for the seamen's wages.
which takes precedence over all other
liens or claims upon the same corpus.
The proper limits of the jurisdiction OF
the Court of Admiralty in cases OF this
nature are perplexed with refnements,
but whatever doubts may have existed
as TO such jurisdiction, they cannot be
invoked in favor of the party who has
sought II.
