Murray v. Meteor

BYERS, District Judge.

This cause may be deemed a second in-stalment of the litigation reported under a similar title in D.C., 78 F.Supp. 637. The libellant seeks to impress upon a stipulation for value given May 27, 1948, a preferred claim for wharfage from October 7, 1947, to May 31, 1948, and from June 2, 1948, to July 1, 1948; the stipulation was filed on the latter day. During this entire period the vessel was not under attachment on October 8, 1947, or from May 28, 1948, to and including June 21, 1948, or 25 days in all.

The claim is resisted on all grounds presented in the prior case…
