Supreme Court of Louisiana June 15, 1836 (Davis v. Louisiana Tow-Boat Co.)

Martin, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The plaintiff, master of one of the defendants’ boats, sues for wages and advances.

The defendants claimed a set-off for the amount of a judgment obtained against them on account of the loss of a flatboat, ran down by the boat of which plaintiff was master. His claim was allowed, but the deduction was made; wherefore, he appealed.
