BLOOMINGDALE BROS., INC., v. BUTLER

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department.
Mar 15, 1934

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, ยง 544; Duggar v. Mobile Gulf Nav. Co., supra) is applicable.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs.

All concur; present, HAMMER, CALLAHAN and FRANKENTHALER, JJ.
