Alliance Ins. Co. v. The Morning Light

District Court, S.D. New York
Alliance Ins. Co. v. The Morning Light, 1 F. Cas. 526 (1862)

Alliance Ins. Co. v. The Morning Light

Opinion of the Court

Held by THE COURT, that the evidence shows a case of inevitable accident between the two vessels, or, if there was a fault, it was one common to both, arising from the obscurity of the weather and want of extreme vigilance on both vessels, and the uncertainty, from that cause, as to what was ihe proper course for either to pursue; that each party must therefore be left to bear his 'own loss.

Libel dismissed. Question of costs reserved.
