In the Mixed Court on Thursday a sequel took place to the fire which occurred on board the str, Albatros at the beginning of January, when the vessel was destroyed. The case arose from a claim presented on behalf of the crew for payment of wages.
Mr. Zvierieff appeared for the plaintiffs, and M. Premet and Mme. Flora Rosemberg, the newly admitted lady barrister-at-law, for the defendants, the owners of the steamer, Counsel for the defendants raised the point of the nationality of the owners. It was contended that as the steamer was under the Polish flag, the Mixed Court could not take jurisdiction, and it was asked that the case be remanded for the French Court, Poles being under the protection of the French authorities.
After hearing argument on the subject the Court (Mr. Ivanoff Assessor) upheld the defendants' contention, and remanded the case for the French Court.
