Pedan sued Govan for wages as chief-mate from Carolina to Bo-ness, and referred the libel to oath. He deponed that he had in the outward voyage hired Blair as chief-mate and him as second-mate, (and produced the agreement with him and the other sailors;) that at Charlestown Blair was discharged, and he hired the pursuer as chief-mate at Blair's wages, and so continued from 7th September to 23d October, that they were put back to Charlestown, when the pursuer refused any longer to serve as chief-mate, but only in his former station as second-mate, and desired him to hire another man; that he thereupon hired Crichton as chief-mate, and that both Crichton and the pursuer kept journals. Drummore found Pedan entitled to wages as chief-mate in the homeward voyage; and that the quality was extrinsic. But on a reclaiming bill, we altered, found the quality intrinsic, and the pursuer entitled to wages from October, only as second-mate.
