The Boston
District Court, E.D. New York
In Admiralty. Libel by Frank B. Hall & Co., Incorporated, against the dredge Boston for advances for insurance. On exceptions by interveners to the amended libel.
1Opinion of the Court
GARVIN, District Judge.
[1] Interveners have filed exceptions to. amended libel, which is based upon a claim for advances made by libel-ant to the dredge Boston for insurance on that vessel. The second exception is based upon the proposition that the lien claimed in the libel which is asserted under chapter 38, Laws of New York 1909 (Lien *689Law [Consol. Laws, c. 33]), may be enforced in admiralty only upon domestic vessels, and that it does not appear upon the face of the libel that when the debt was contracted the dredge was a domestic vessel. This exception is well taken and must be sustained.…
