RAPPORTS JUDICIAIRES REVISÉS DE LA PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC. SALE OF MORTGAGED VESSEL.-RIGHTS OF MORTGAGER.-CREDITOR PRIVILEGE FOR WAGES UNDER C. C. 2383."LAST VOYAGE." COURT OF REVIEW, Montreal, April 5th, 1878. Present: TORRANCE, (dissenting) DORION, RAINVILLE, J. J. D'AOUST vs MCDONALD, and NORRIS, opposant. Held: 1. That though C. S. C. cap. 41 was repealed by 37-38 Vict., c. 128, s. 3, (1874), a bill of sale by way of mortgage of a vessel registered under the former statute, made after the passing of the repealing act, in the form usual under the former statute, created a valid mortgage. 2. That it was not necessary to the validity of a mortgage on such vessel that she should first be re-enregistered under the ImperialMerchants Shipping Act of 1854. 3. That the form I, given in the Merchants' Shipping Act, need not be strictly adhered to, in the case of a vessel registered under c. 41 C. S. C. 4. That the privilege accorded by C. C. 2383, for the wages of the master and crew of a ship for the last voyage," does not apply to a balance of wages for a season's continuous navigation on the St. Lawrenec and Lakes, though the master and crew signed articles for the season, and were paid by the month and not by the trip. 5. That a mortgage of a vessel cannot prevent the seizure and sale thereof by a judgment creditor, but such sale will not purge his mortgage, and will only convey to the purchaser the rights of the judgment debtor in the vessel, the mortgagee retaining his rights under his mortgage against the vessel in the hands of the purchaser. 1 The judgment of the majority of the Court of Review, which reversed that rendered by the Superior Court, MACKAY, J., was pronounced by DORION, J., as follows: In August, 1874, Norris and others sold to McDonald an inland registered vessel called the "America" for a America" for a price said to have been paid cash, and this sale was duly registered. This vessel had been registered previous to the repeal of the chap. 41 of the Consolidated Statutes of Canada. In Septem TOME XXII. 1 |
