Bloomingdale Bros. v. Butler

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 15, 1934

150 Misc. 903; 270 N.Y.S. 624; 1934 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 1199

Counsel

Plante & Abrahams [Hyman Greenberg of counsel], for the appellant., J. R. Silvermintz, for the respondent.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

A pilot is a seaman within the provisions of section 601 of title 46 of the United States Code. (Somers v. Jersey Blue, 22 Fed. Cas. 13,169; Duggar v. Mobile & Gulf Nav. Co., 224 Ala. 359; 140 So. 611.) His wages, therefore, are exempt from garnishment. There is nothing in the record showing that the statute pertaining to coastwise trade (U. S. Code, tit. 46, § 544; Duggar v. Mobile & Gulf Nav. Co., supra) is applicable.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs.

All concur; present, Hammer, Callahan and Frankenthaler, JJ.
