District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania
Griffenberg v. The John Laughlin, 11 F. Cas. 4 (1876)
2 W.N.C. 612; 1876 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 142

Griffenberg v. The John Laughlin

Opinion of the Court

CADWALADER, District Judge.

Whether there was a lien under the Pennsylvania statute is an immaterial question, because the demand is not for maritime supplies, and if it had been the place of supply would have been the home port of the vessel. The demand arose before she was equipped so as to be' in a condition to receive “supplies” in the distinctive sense of that word. The libel is dismissed. for want of jurisdiction, with costs.
