Case No. 7,544.

The JOSEPHINE.

SEAMEN—MALTREATMENT BY MASTER—JUSTIFICATION.

Captain Lendholm, of the ship Josephine, was charged with maltreating his crew of Lascars. THE COURT held that, although the captain was apparently honest in the belief that the men had conspired to poison him, yet he had no right to flog them.

Decided by SPRAGUE, District Judge.
