UHITSD STATES V. BA.IS. 190 �"The shippîng act required shipments and discharges of Beamen for long foreign voyages to be conducted under the supervision of shipping commission ers; as to the contracts of coasting and West Indian voyages, it left the act of 1790 to deal with them." �The ruling was made upon the provisions of the act of 1872, as found incorporated into the Eevised Statutes.the attention of the court at the trial not having been called to the act of June 9, 1874. This act, however, was then in force, and we are of the opinion that it is unnecessary for ua to determine the true construction of so much of LUI. as is found in the Eevised Statutes relating to coasting voyages, and which were included in the act of 1872; as, by the act of 1874, vessels upon such voyages are entirely excluded from the operation of ail provisions of this title heretofore contained in tho shipping act. �By act of Congress approved June 22, 1874, the Eevised Statutes took eiïect as of Dccember 1, 1873, but by section 5601 it was declarcd that aots passed since that date are to have full elïcet as if passed after the enactment of the Eevis- ion, and, "so far as sueh aots vary from or conflict with any provision contained in said Eevision, they are to have effect as subsequent statutes, and as repealing any portion of the Eevision inconsistent therewith."

Ail the regulations found in the act of 1872, and transferred to the Eevised Stat- utes, relative to the shipment of crews, which might other- wise, perhaps, be applicable to coastwise voyages, are no ����
