Boyd v. The Towner

3 F. Cas. 1098, 1855 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 76

Opinion

HELD

BY THE COURT

that the libellant had undertaken to put the boat in a safe position and to keep her afloat until the coal was discharged, and until that was done he had no right to demand anything for his services; that, the libel having been filed before this was done, the suit was prematurely brought; and the other questions need not be considered. Libel dismissed, with costs.
