The Rupee

District Court, D. Massachusetts
The Rupee, 21 F. Cas. 15 (1839)

The Rupee

Opinion of the Court

THE COURT

decided that he was entitled to the rate of wages claimed, up to the time of his discharge at Liverpool, but decreed that his claim for three months’ extra wages after his discharge could not be sustained, as the brig was seaworthy when she sailed on her voyage., and the discharge of the libellant at Liverpool having been occasioned by the injury done to the brig by tempestuous weather; therefore the respondents were not bound to pay the three months’ extra wages.
