Opinion

THE COURT

(BETTS, District Judge)

held, that the ship committed a fault in not keeping away instead of luffing; but such fault having been induced by the wrongful act of the schooner, in maintaining her course and not giving way in time, affords no ground for the schooner to demand damages or remuneration therefor.

Libel dismissed, with costs to be taxed.
