Versions of s. 190(3)

Where a seaman who has been lawfully engaged and has received under his agreement an advance note, after negotiating his advance note, wilfully or through misconduct fails to join his ship or deserts therefrom before the note becomes payable, he is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars, or, at the discretion of the court, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding twenty-one days, but nothing in this section takes away or limits any remedy by action or other procedure that any person would otherwise have in respect of the negotiation of the advance note, or that an owner or master would otherwise have for breach of contract.
