Opinion

By the Court, Bronson, J.

It is impossible to distinguish this case from those cited at the bar. The present statute is substantially like the former ones. It only applies to ships and vessels which navigate the ocean, and such as are required to have a coasting license under the laws of the United States. If this were a new question, I should be of that opinion. In common parlance, a canal boat is not a “ ship or vessel.” But it is enough that the question is decided.

New trial granted.
