Opinion

This was a libel [by Benjamin Hitchen and others against William Wilson & Sons] for wages. The vessel had been captured and condemned. Pending the appeal she was restored to the underwriters, to whom she had been abandoned upon a compro--mise. The defendants were willing to pay the seamen’s wages, after deducting the expense of recovering the property. But the district- court decreed full wages; and the sentence was affirmed in this court.
