Hobson v. Lady Drake, Ltd.

MOSCOWITZ, District Judge.

This is a motion made by the libelant to retax respondent’s costs by eliminating the docket fee which was taxed by the clerk of the court.

The libel was filed to recover for alleged damages to a cargo that was carried on the steamship Lady Drake from Barbados to St. John, New Brunswick.

On motion of the respondent the court declined to take jurisdiction on the ground that the ends of justice would be best served by remitting the parties to the courts of Canada or the Maritime Provinces. A decree was thereupon entered dismissing the libel. 1 P. Supp. 317.
