A Supreme Court Judgment.

His Honour Mr. Justice H. H. J. Gompertz, the acting Chief Justice, gave judgment this morning in the Supreme Court in the suit brought against the Standard Oil Company by the crew of the 6. 8. Sequoys, for wages alleged to be due and for a return passage to New York. They also claimed an account. in The vessel shipped a crew Hongkong on June 13,1919 at the current local ratos for wagos. The agreement was to serve the said ship on a voyage from Hongkong to any port or ports within the limits of 70 degrees: north and 70 degrees south latitude, trading in any rotation as may be required, for a period not exceding two years, final port of discharge to ba Hongkong, with wages payable up to the date of arrival or dis- oharge in Hongkong. On the arrival of the steamer at New York on August 20, 1919, the craw gradually desorted. Fresh men were engaged and on September 9th the plaintiffs were engaged at New York, at New York rates, which were considor- ably higher than those current in Hongkong. in due course, the vessel left New York and proceeded by way of Colombo, Calcutta, Rangoon, Port Arthur, Texas, to Hongkong. On arrival in the Colony in March, 1920, the master claimed to discharge the plaintiffs and he went with them to the Harbour Office and tender- ed them the wages due, but the plaintiffs refused to accept dis charge or to receive payment. The amount of wages dus was paid into Court with a plea of tender.

The plaintiffs' case was based upon a letter given to the board- ing house master in New York through whom the plaintiffs were recruited by the master of the Sequoya. That letter ran A8

hereby follows:-"I

agree on

to engage 22 тел board the British steamer Sequoya from the port of New York for a period not to exceed 18 months."

Hie Lordship in the course of his judgment said:-The voyage for which these plaintiffs agree is clearly not the voyage in the Articles, which is stated to com- mence from Hongkong, whereas, for these plaintiffs it is from
