Booth v. Moran
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided January 6, 1905No. Nos. 97, 98PublishedCited by 1 opinion
Appeals from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. Appeal from decree of District Court holding Barney dumper No. 3 solely in fault for a collision with an anchored scow. Reported below in 123 Fed. 172.
1Per curiam
We concur fully with the District Judge. The proximate cause of the collision was the condition of dumper No. 3, which made it impossible to give her a port helm. The disrepair which produced this condition had existed several days, was known to master and owners, and had not been communicated to the tug which had her in tow, and which was entitled to assume she could be steered.
The decree is affirmed, with interest and costs.
