New York, O. & W. RY. CO. v. Cornell Steamboat Co.
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the South-ern District of New York. Suit in admiralty for collision by the New York, Ontario & Western Railway Company against the Cornell Steamboat Company and the City of New York. Decree for libelant against the Cornell Steam-boat Company alone, and such respondent appeals.
1Per curiam
We agree with Judlge Hough for the reasons given by him that the respondent was solely at fault, and this whether the tow was hanging from Pier 1 straight down the river, as he found, or was swung in by the freshet current toward Pier A, as the respondent contended. It was not in a slip in either case but in waters which the fire boat had a right to use.
Decree affirmed, with interest and costs.
