IN AE THE
ROSINA;" JUDGMENT.
MOTION FOR
This was a motion on behalf of the holders, Messrs Adamson, Bell & Co., of a bottomry bond against the American vessel Rosina, for a deciée of the Court for the
sale of the vessel under the bond, given in favour of one Mr Pral in Sydney, who endorsed it over to the present promovents. The Hon. George Phillippo, the Queen's Advocate, instructed by Messrs Sharp, Toller, and Johnson, appeared for Messrs Adamson, Bell & Co.
Mr Kingsmill, instructed by Mr Dennys, appeared for Capt. C. W. Haneen, the master of the vessel, to claim prior rights over the promovent's claim, from the pro- reads of the sale for wages and disburse- ments on account of the ship.:
Mr. Kingsmill continued his argument by quoting from Wheaton's International Law to show that by the oomity of nations a contract followed the law of the place at which it was made. The master's contract of service having been made in Boston, American law-ohould prevail in the trial of this case, while, on the other hand, the bot- tomry bond having been execated in Syd- ney, English law should prevail But the master's contract being antecadent to the
hood, should have preference, and, as by the law of the United States, as well as England, the master in a claim for wages, wa precisely in the same position as a mariner, and should have priority over "the bond-holder,
At the close of the learned advocate's argument, bis Lordship proposed to call the master to depose to certain facts which the Court should like to know, if both sides consented.
GEO. F. TRAIN'S NEW PAPER, AS
The Hon. G. Phillippo then addressed the Court on behalf of the promovents, He rolled his case on the personal security which the Captain had given in the bottomry bond which was sometimes given without this personal security. But here Capt. Hansen secured the advance with

The distinction in this case was the master gave no personal security, the advanos being made on the ship, freight and cargo, The ruling here was that the master should have priority over the bond-holder, and in his claim for wages, he was placed in the same position as a seaman. This was, however, so far as the exigencies of the asse would permit, so that where the crew claimed for wages alo, they should have preference over the master. Several other cases, such as the Wm. F. Safford and Edward Oliver, were likewise oited in support of the contention on priority of liena.
The further hearing was then adjourned till to-morrow (2nd) at 10.30 am.

The first where dead partles, charches and politicians have obituary notices draped in mourning, before they are in the coffin! The Lexicon of Knowledge. The first where all the world is essenced, concentrated, boiled down into a paragraph. The first where no names are made prominent, but all are absorbed in the Universal. Where nothing will be quoted. Where there is no malice, no ambition, no object but comment for its creator. Where there is no axe to grind. The first that takes no stock in Gods, Ghosts, Myths, Idole, Heroes, but where affinity is the elements, Sun, Air, Earth, Water, Fire. The first that asks no favours, courts no sympathy, wishes ao praise, cares for no denenre, begs no subscribers, needs no The first backers, money, or friends. original idea that does not desire copyright, protection or monopoly, and does not fear rivalship or competition. The first that cannot be controlled by government, religion, or society. That cannot be bought, sold or influenced by money, office, or power. The first where its fomder stopped animal food, shaking hands, visit- ing public places, holding personal in tercourse with adults or answering private letters by instinct through psychologic aversion to the world's ways. Where the companionship of babies, birds, animals, sunshine, oxygen, flowers, produces chronic health,content, and happiness. The first that was too big to have any other locality but the Universe for a publishing office! The first that was an epitome of all the solar system. The first in the world ever published with out date, and only measured by numbers. The first that ever excluded from its columns quack charities, quack criticisms, quack medicines, chromo clubs, fraudulent, tax lists, horse races, obscene Herald persona restel ads., rat pits, dog fights, cook mains, election pools, lottery swindles, religious notices, or the brutalities of the prize ring! The first journal that all the people loved and feared at the same moment. The first editor that is neither Christian nor Infidel, Jew or Gentile, Mormon, Spiritualist, Shaker, Sceptio, Pagan, or Scientist. The first where the reader will be always looking for something he never finds. The first where nobody can see the author, and where its founder never smoked, drank, chewed, swore, lied, stole, or broke the seventh commandment. The first that over took a thousand baths, held a thousand Greenback Conventiona for the Presidency, or commenced a thon and volumes of autobiography i The first where its creator speaks twenty languages, crossed the ocean forty-seven times, travel led thrice round the planet and initiated clipper ships, horse railroads, Credit Mobilier and Union Pacifics, and guiltless: of all crime has been used by a benighted world to macadamise fourteen gaols! In short, this is the first newspaper over established large enough to absorb George Francis Train.
