1 Disney (Ohio) 503

Counsel

King, Anderson & Sage, for plaintiff., Lincoln, Smith & Warnock, for defendant.

Glays v. A Raft of Pine Lumber

Opinion of the Court

Spencer, J.

I suppose that the very term “water-craft” implies some degree of skill and adaptation for the purposes of navigation in the manufacture of the craft, and could not properly be applied to a number of logs put temporarily together, to be brought into market, without any reference to their use in navigation, for the purpose of trade or commerce.

Demurrer overruled, and action dismissed.
