Wilson v. Winchester

E.D. New York

Wilson v. Winchester

30 F. 204, 1886 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 160

District Court, E.D. New York·Decided October 22, 1886·Published

Opinion

Benedict, J.

The service rendered by the libelant, was clearly a salvage service, entitled to be compensated as such. The bill of $200, presented by the libelant for his services, was, in my opinion, a reasonable bill, under the circumstances, and should have been paid. I award the libelant, therefore, that sum as his salvage reward. For that sum, together with his costs, he ma¡y have a decree, and I add $25 to the taxable costs, in order to reduce by so much the libelant’s expenses of the litigation made necessary by the defendants’ refusal to pay the libelant’s reasonable bill.
