Head Matter:
Case No. 7,339.
The JOHN E. HOLBROOK.
[7 Ben. 356.]
District Court, S. D. New York.
June, 1874.
R. D. Benedict, for libellant.
W. R. Beebe, for claimant.

Opinion:
BLATCHFORD, District Judge.
I think that, under section 33 of the shipping act, the libellant is entitled to double pay for ten days. Under section G1 of the same act, wages due to a seaman cannot be attached, and a-payment of wages to a seaman, nothwithstanding an attachment, is valid. Let a decree be entered for the libel-lant for $223 and costs.
