Salvage—Compensation—Forfeiture.

. [Cited in Marv. Wr. & Salv. 232, as having held that where wreckers had unnecessarily lightened the bark of 205 bales of cotton, in order to magnify their services and obtain a larger salvage than that to which they were justly entitled, their whole salvage should be forfeited, notwithstanding they had rendered important services.]
