LAW INTE LLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 25. Strickling v. Kntidjlen. This is a mercantile cafe of considera ble import, —The pUin.iff wa.a fe.manon board a Danish ship, which failed from A 1 tova for London, and the defendant _ is the captain- When the ft>p arrived in the Pool, and had delivered her cargo, on the ,6th of last May, the men, eight in num. L demanded to know whether they were to return immediately borne ? The captain would not fatisfy them, and inform-d them, that having signed articles at Altona to con- Biigue with the ship during her voyage, 2. t , iev fliould not leave the (hip. They Jhen explained that the stores were tin- j fate, arid the (hip rendered so by the tackle; and that the provisions laid in for the homeward voyage were bad and un wholesome. Theft complaints were not attended :o ; and on the 27th of May they all 'lruck and left the/hip, except the mate aR i boatswain.- They did no\, as appeared W the evidence of Mr. Wolf-, the Danish Consul, apply to bin to uctrefs their.com plaints, but immediacy brought their afti for their wagei of four dollars per month for 21 month*. The captain refti fc,i payment, a«ed S «d, that they had vio. Jaterf their agreemewt, ot cuurfe had forfai ted their wr.g s. On behalf of the h only one wit ness was called, uho that the provifi. 0 „ s viz. the pease, beef and t 'Ur crout, were oil unwholelome ; and particularly, : that the llore* and pr-vili- 1* tor »•- hone ward voyage were pui chafed from the re f life pfnther fhipiin the river. Mr. Serjeant Cockill, for the plaintiff, infilled, that under such c rcumrtansts the men were not bound by any agreement, but that they were authorized to leave the fliip, apd infifl upon (heir wages' ; the de fendant having himfelf, it, the firfl inftancc, violated his contract, and evaded lu'sduty. On the part of the captain, Mr. Serjeant, Shepherd called the mate and the boatswain, Jabannes Boak and Peter Eerge, who po sitively fwoYe that the provisions were good } and wbolefome, and that the captain al lowed them plenty of it. The (hip was well fitted, and was to all intents sea worthy. Two cuilcm hjufe tide waiters wtfe called, who proved in the mod pofuive terms, that the provisions, whilst in the port of London, were of the belt quality ; I jnd that the captain, the crew, and thcni felves, fared equally alike. Judge Rooke was clearly of opinion, that ihefeamen ought not to have left the ship, without going to the consul to complain, and if they really had any grievances, to take every step to get them redressed; before they deserted their duty. It was the glory of the Englilh law, he said, that the Judges and juriei protested- all foreigners, particu larly seamen ; but the captains of ships mud be equa'ly protested in their just right» —The jury confuted, and found a verdiA for the defendant.
