Knickerbocker Steam Towage Co. v. Cullen
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit · Decided November 7, 1891
49 F. 166; 1891 U.S. App. LEXIS 1111

Knickerbocker Steam Towage Co. v. Cullen

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We are satisfied that the towage service, for the recovery of which this' libel is filed, was not rendered on the credit of the schooner or her owners, but both her master and the libelant understood that the towage was to be collected of the Ridgewood Ice Company, the charterer of the vessel. The decree of the circuit court is affirmed, with costs of this court, and the cause remanded to that court, with directions to render a decree accordingly.
