Mills v. The Whistler

District Court, E.D. New York
Mills v. The Whistler, 30 F. 199 (1886)
1886 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 156

Mills v. The Whistler

Opinion of the Court

Benedict, J.

This is an action to enforce alien upon a domestic vessel, arising under the laws of the state of New York. The libelant’s lien, if ho ever had one, was, in my opinion, lost when the vessel went in the regular course of her occupation from Brooklyn as far as Long Beach, on the Atlantic ocean, returned, and put into Rockaway inlet; there making fast to the shore. This was, in my opinion, a leaving of the port.

The libel must be dismissed.
