The action was tried by Mr. JUSTICE COLLINS, who, in giving judgment In favour of the defendants, said the nego- tiations at Antwerp relative to the plaintif being paid off in a foreign port were con- ducted between the Consul and the seaman, and the captain had paid the seaman all that the Consul found was due to him.
