The Coquitlam City
District Court, W.D. Washington
In Admiralty. Suit by C. J. Clark and others against the British schooner Coquitlam City; Frank Forsythe, claimant, and the Puget Sound Tugboat Company intervener. On exceptions to report of commissioner.
1Opinion of the Court
NETERER, District Judge.
[ 1 ] I think the court should consider the exceptions filed to the report of the commissioner. The objections to the consideration thereof for the reason that they were not filed within the time provided by admiralty rule No. 45, I think, should not obtain. Nor do I think that the court is bound by the findings and conclusions of the commissioner under the order of reference made, as such findings are merely advisory, and the court may disregard them entirely, where claimant had entered an appearance and contests the claim asserted.
