§ 95. Liens for which no warrants are issued. A person who has a lien
under this article against the vessel so sold, and has made no
application for a warrant thereon, may present to and file with the
justice or referee at the time and place specified in the notice of
distribution of such proceeds, a verified statement of the facts and
allegations required to be stated in the application for a warrant. And
thereupon such lien shall be determined, with the same effect as if a
warrant had been issued to enforce such lien.
