Opinion

Acheson, J.

Undoubtedly this court has jurisdiction generally ot suits in personam upon maritime contracts; and as this is such a suit against the owner of the Bengal Tiger to enforce a personal liability, and not a proceeding in rem against the steam-boat, the objection that she is a domestic vessel, and hence is not subject to a maritime lien for the claim in suit, is not well taken, and the motion to dismiss must be denied. And now, May 7, 1890, the motion to dismiss the libel is denied.
