Head Matter:
Williams, Respondent, vs. The Steamboat Morrisett, Appellant.
1. In a suit against a boat begun before a justice, a statement in the account-filed that the demand is for services as “ deck hand” sufficiently shows that it is a lien.
Appeal from St. Louis Law Commissioner’s Court.
Marshall, Burke & Glover for appellant.
J. B. Thompson, for respondent.

Opinion:
Ryland, Judge.
This case is similar to the case of Jones vs. the same boat. The difference is, that the work charged in this case was done by plaintiff as a " deck hand," and not as a "fireman." The same principles will govern this as that of Jones v. Steamboat Morrisett. That opinion is referred to. The judgment below is affirmed ; the other judges concurring.
