Opinion
The exception to the libel is not well taken. Upon the facts stated in the libel a lien upon the canal-boat was created by virtue of the statute of the state where the materials were supplied. It was not necessary to aver that a specification of the claim has been filed. The filing of a specification is only necessary in ease the vessel leaves the port, and by this libel it does not appear that the vessel ever left the port.
The libellant is entitled to a decree, upon the exceptions, for the amount claimed, with leave to the claimant to answer on payment of costs.
