Griffenberg v. The John Laughlin
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
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.
