630 PEDBBAL BBPOBTER. �the state courts in admiralty and maritime causes, and be- sides that the provisions of section 4285, whieh take away their jurisdiction entirely pending this proceeding after trans- fer, the state courts could not give that relief, even under the saving clause of section 563, since the remedy sought is not a remedy which the common law was competent to give, as pointed out in Norwich Co. v. Wright, 13 Wall. 123. The supreme court of Massachusetts, indeed, say in the case above eited (113 Mass. 502) that under the statute of that state the ship-owner has a remedy in the nature of a bill in equity. The court evidently overlooked the fact that under section 563, this being a maritime cause, remedies which courts of equity are competent to give, as distinguished from those which courts of common law are competent to give, are not saved to the suitors in the state courts by that section.
