Ccmmvnicc.tidfor the freeman's Journal. In the circuit court of the United States, Oo ober sessions, 1800. Sitns, appcll.int, vs. Jaekion, executrix of Jackson, appellee. This was' an appeal from the decree of the district judge. One Jackson had been hired as mate of the ship Woodrwp Sims, belong- ing to the appellant, on a voyage from Phi- ladelphia to Ratavja and back to Philadel phia, at 30 dollars per month. He died at Batavia. His wages were paid to the time of his death ; but the appellee, his executrix, claimed full waives to the time of the vessel's return to Philadelphia. Th«/district"'judge decreed in favor of the claim, and this was an appeal from his sentence. WAsilfNGTplJj J', As I entirely concur in the opinion given by the district judge upon this question, and for the reasons assigned by him, I deem it unnecessary to discuss the subject much at large. It is admitted, that no decision is. to be met with in the English books, precisely like the present,' nor have we any municipal regulations which govern the case. We must therefore resort to those marine laws which have always been acknowledged as authority in ling land, as well as in most of the European com mercia! nations, unless \Vher* they have been altered or modified by the law of particular states, but which alterations are binding nn such states only.v The 7th article of the Law of Oleron de- clares, that if a mariner be taken sick on the voyage, he ought to be put on shore, and care should be taken of him at the expenci? of the ship. When the vessel is ready to- Saili she is not to wait for him, but still he is to be entitled to his full -wages if he reco- ver, and if he dies, his wife or next of kin shall have it, deducting only such charges as the master has been at for him. Now the only questions in this case are, 1st. Did the mariner die on the voyage ? 2dly. Does the expression "full wages," in the above article, mean such as he had earn- ed by his services to the tune of his death, or such as he would have earned, had he lived ard served out the whole voyage to Philadelphia ? ist. Most unquestionably the deceased was bound by his contract to pe-rfonn the whole voyage, which is described in the ar- ticles to be from Vhiladrlphia to Batavia and back again ; aur4 he w: ukl have forfeit- ted thw whole had he •"' fserted the v.hip at any time previous to h 'ivl'-'iii >o Philadelphia. 1 agree with the judge of the district corrv, that the stipulation to pay wages by the month does not break the entirety of the contract for the v'oyage hut only furnishes a rule by which to assess the quantum for fage. It protects the owners against an oveip;, vi ,t the risk of receiving tco little, in cr.se of a long one. It prevents each from speculating upon the other, by accernniodatiflg the reward to the length of service*. 2nd. Dot^s the expression, " full wages" apply to what would have been due if the mariner had served ont the entire voyage, or are we to limit it to such as have been earned by services performed ? If a certain sum for the voyage be agreed upon, that sum would constitute the " full wages," and is distinguishable from no wages at all, as in the case of Cutler vs. Pcwell; or, where ihey have been forfeited by the misconduct of the mariner ; or, wages ;oro rata, where they have been partly earned and are net for foiled. But, every doubt, with respect to the meaning of those expressions, is cleared away, by the decision in the case of Chand- ler vs. Grieves t A mariner was engaged on a voyage from London to Honduras, thence to Philadelphia, and back to London. The articles were drawn in the usual form ; and such I take to be the articles in the case now before us. The mariner, while at Hon- duras, was, by an accident, disabled, and to- tally disqualified from rendering any future service on the voyage. On the arrival of the ship at Philadelphia, he was put on shore, and there left, and his wages paid hina up to that time, and the vessel returned to London. The court determined that he was entitled to his full wages; and he, accord- ingly, recovered the same wages to which he\vould have been entitled, had he proceed- ed with the vessel te»London.—That ease not only determines a principle, which is, in all its parts, applicable to the present, but it de- cides that " full •wages'"' mean the aggre- gate amount of all the monthly sums which would have accrued upon the completion if the voyage. This decision is expressly founded upon the 7th article of the laws •? Oleron , which entitles a sick sailor, who is left behind, to " full wages,-" and the same article declares, that what such sick sailor would te entitled to if he reao»ers, passes to his widow or next of kin, in case of his death. I am, therefor^, of opinion, that the de- cree of the district court ought to be affirmed. NOTES. * A bbott, in his Ltrui prompt an enlightened cabinet, and a nation which possesses clearness of mind and inde- peucier.ct:..'.."opioi t;. to put a speedy scop to the war. luynediateW after the battle of Je-ua. the emperor made known his de'rire to restore the ancient relations between Sweden and France. The first overtures were made to the Swedish minister at Hamburg, but re- jeCted. Ihe emperor constantly directed his generals to treat the Swedes as friends, with whom we art at variance, and with whom we shall soon be reconciled, from the nature of things. Etdiold the true interests of both nations. " If they did us any harm, they woi.ld regret it ; and we, on our part, should wish to repair the wrong which we may have done them. The interest of the state will at last rise superior to all differences and petty quarrels." These were the L-.npe- ror's own words, in his orders. Animated by such sentiments, the emperor ordered the military operations for the siege ofStrabund to be discontinued, and the mortars and can- non which were sent from Stettin for that purpose, to be sent back. He wrote to gen. Mortier in the following words : '' I already regret what has been done. I am, sorry that the fine suburb of Stralsund has been burnt. Is it our business to hurt Sweden ? This is a mere dream. It is our business to protect, not to do her any injury. In th« latter, let us be as moderate as possible. Propose to the governor of Stralsund an armistice, or a cessation of hostilities, in brder to ease the burden and lessen the calamities of a war, which I consider as wicked, because it is im- pclitic." On the 18th the armistice was concluded between marshal Morti;j and ba- ron Von Essen. Annexed is a cojgy pi (fh'e articles. [Here the articles follow,*'] The siege of Dantzic fe-continued with interruption. Annexed is the- report of the military operations at that ilice. [This re- port is omitted in the Dutch Gazette, being of importance only to military men.] On the 16th April, at 8 in the evening, a detachment of 2600 men from the garrison of Glatz, advanced, with 6 pieces of cannon, against the right wing of the post of Finck- enstein. On the following day, the 17th, at break of day, another column, of 800 men, marched from Silberberg. These troops af- ter their junction, advanced upon Franken- stein,, and commenced an attack, at 5 in the morning, with an intention to attack gen. Lefebvre, who was posted there with his corps of observation. Prince Jerome set off from Musterberg when the first gun was fired, and arrived at Frankenstein at ten in the morning. The enemy was completely dispersed, and pursued to the covered way of Glatz. Six hundred of them were taken together with three pieces of cannon. One major and eight officers are among the pri- soners ; 300 men were left dead on the field of battle ; 400 men that had escaped in the woods, were attacked and taken, at n A. M.—Col. Beckers commanding the 6th Ba- varian regiment of the line, and col. Scharf- enstein, of the Wurtemburg troops have done •wonders.—The former would not quit the field of battle, although he was wounded in the shoulder; he shewed himself every where at the head of his battalliou, and eve- ry where performed wonders. The Empe- ror has granted to each of these officers the Eagle of the Legion of Honor. Capt.Brock- feld, who provisionally commands the Wur- temburg Horse Chasseurs, has likewise dis- tinguished himself; and it was him that took the several pieces of cannon. The siege of Neisse is going on prosper- ously. One half of the town is already burnt and the trenches are approaching very near the fortress. * Published inthc Federal Gazette, on Sa- turday last.
