Opinion

THE JUDGE

said he could not consider the claim of the administrator as well-founded. The principles established in former eases could not be applied to this. The mariner was not competent to perform the voyage for which he had shipped as an able-liodied seaman, and it was a fraud on his part to have represented himself as such. Merchants were not to be thus imposed on by mariners being placed on board their vessels to die, and thus to give a foundation to claims of this nature.
