Opinion

BYRD, J.

The libel in this case shows clearly that the admiralty courts of the United States have jurisdiction over the subject-matter, and upon the authority of the cases of the Ad. Hine v. Trevor, and the Mary Taylor, decided by the supreme court of the United States, we must hold that the court below had no jurisdiction of the cause, and consequently the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded.
