LOWELL, District Judge.

Question of jurisdiction.

The owner of a winch sold on conditional sale to. the motor vessel Donald seeks pos[628]*628session of the winch on the ground that the required payments have not been made. This is a question on which there is apparently very little authority, but I am of the opinion that as it relates to the possession of a chattel which by use has become maritime, this court has jurisdiction.
