This was a libel in rem by certain tug owners against the steam dredge Charles E. Wisewall to recover the value of certain services rendered by their tugs in towing the dredge. On final hearing.
1Opinion of the CourtCoxe, District Judge
(orally). The proof shows conclusively that during the summer of 1895, the tugs mentioned in the libel, rendered services to the claimant’s dredge in sums aggregating several hundred. dollars.
