He de- cides that the right to proceed in this Court against a ship for wages and disbursements is not taken away by the Dominion Insolv- ent Acts ; and that, although the right of possession and title to the ship passed to the assignee under the writ of attachment and insolvency, yet the insolvency of the owners ipso jucto did not determine the authority and functions of ,the master, or operate as a disinissal to him.

Editor Shipping and Mercantile Gazette. Sir,—l purchased a vessel, belonging te Sharlottetown, P. E. [., through ithe Agent in England. and signed the agreement 21st of August last, and signed the duplicate on the 28th of the sane month, in presence of one of the owners, to whom I was introduc- ed by the Agent as Capt. Willams who had bought the *‘ Jean Anderson,” ana that I was going out to Prince Edward Island after the vessel, which was then en her way out to Charlottetown, and to take charge of her for the return voyage to England, at a wage of 10] per month until the cargo was discharged, when my Wages were to cease, There was a condition that I was to-come to Prince Edward Island and take charge. of the vessel as Master, but first to bring her to Pictou to undergo repair which was to be be done to my satisfaction, according to the agreement which I signed. The vessel was got ready for sea, when the firm became bankrupt, and the vessel was seized by the creditors. I took charge as Master on the 10th September, and the vessel was seized 10th ef October. I re- ceived orders from the assignee on Decem- ber 7th to make up the accounts of wages of the crew and myself, and to be at the Shipping-office at 2 p. m. and get the crew discharged. I asked the assignee if I was going to be paid eff also. He said that he did not know just then, until he had orders from the official assignee from Charlotte- town, and told me to live on shore, that he would pay for my board, which I agreed to do; butin half-an-hour after he came to ine at the vessel and said that he had coun- termanded his order, saying that I was not the Master of the ‘‘ Jean Anderson” he- cause my name was not on the register, which I did not think re- quisite or customary until the vessel was cleared and ready for sea, and, of course, the former Capiain’s name, whe brought the vessel from England to Prince Edward Island, was upon the register. The other Captain was removed to another vessel which was at another port. When he was proceeding to sea with the other vessel she struck on the bar and commenced to make water, and he made his way for Pictou in distress. Next day, after he had arrived in Pictou, his vessel was also arrested by the creditors. After he had laid at Pictou for some time his crew were also paid off, but he (the Captain) was kept on and got his wages and board paid by the assignee, who refuses me wages or any bvard since my crew have been discharged. He ac- knowledged meas Master until my crew were discharged, which was done by me; and he paid my beard from the 7th to the 19th of December last, and he refuses to pay me any wages or board since that time. i am here destitute and penniless since 19th December last. What am Ito do to re- cover my wages and board, and also the advances I made tothe crew, which wére paid according to my accounts? Yours, &c., -Joun W1ILtiams, Master of the Brigt. ‘‘ Jean Anderson,” of Charlottetown, P. E. 1. Pictov, May 20, 1879. {As the assets of the insolvent are in the possession of the assignees of the bankrupt, there is no other resouree than to obtain an orderfrom the Vice-Admiralty Court fur the wages due, and present the same to the assignee as proof of claim if disputed. ] ——— nnn EE Tue Canapa Pacrric Rartway.—It ia said that there are now employed on sec- tion A, Canada Pacific Railway, 1,200 men, and on section B., 1,000 men.
