If a master wilfully makes a false statement in any credible letter intended for use in any proceeding on an allotment note for the recovery of a seaman’s wages, to the effect that a seaman has left his ship and has ceased to be entitled to the wages out of which any allotment is to be paid, he is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars.
