Opinion
March 15, 1934.
Appeal from the Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Ninth District.
Plante Abrahams [ Hyman Greenberg of counsel], for the appellant.
J.R. Silvermintz, for the respondent.
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.
