Opinion
announced the judgment of the’ court.
The only Federal question presented in this case is one upon which we áre not inclined to hear an argument. A canal-boat laden with coal for transportation, having on board the wife and children of the captain, is not “ a barge carrying passengers,” within the meaning of sect. 4492, Rev. Stat., which requires such a barge, while in tow of a steamer, to be provided with “ fire-buckets, axes, life-preservers, and yawls.” The motion to dismiss is denied, but that to affirm is granted.
Judgment, affirmed.
