His Lordship-It is suggested by both Bors that the boats could have got with moderate sase to the shore four miles off, to loeward, with wind and tide, and could have made a second journey coasting up and then dropping down to the wreck, the weather then improving. The people would have landed on there about fifteen miles at the crow is from Amoy, or, with improving weather, one boat sould have been sent round for ssistance. The "sigual we are sinking" was hoisted, but there does not seem to have been any immediate peril of her breaking up..

at eight per cent on the quantity of treasure of the plaintiffs retained. One point had not boon argued. The captain of the "Akubi" was the real siror of the treasure. It was clear that the crows from their own story could not have lved it, and if the tranzara had not been salved there would have been no sotion. The ABBOT
gred with him in thinking that the captain of the "Akashi” ought to receive some recognition of his mervices. He did not think he had power to include him in the award, but if the parties agreed be proposed to ingrase the award by $600 for the captain of the "Akashi" making it in all $4,500, :
Mr. Blade moved for judgment. On recovery of the treasure they would pay the amount,
Sir Hoary Berkeley submitted that what should be done was to deprive the mivors of their costs. They should not be made to pay casts. the offset of which would ha to deprive them of all ward. The question of costs w entirely in the discretion of the Court, and he submitted that in a mass of this kind the costs of all parties should be borne out of the fund.
