New York, O. & W. RY. CO. v. Cornell Steamboat Co.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
New York, O. & W. RY. CO. v. Cornell Steamboat Co., 193 F. 380 (2d Cir. 1911)
113 C.C.A. 306; 1911 U.S. App. LEXIS 4786
New York, O. & W. RY. CO. v. Cornell Steamboat Co.
Opinion of the Court
We agree with Judlge Hough for the reasons given by him that the respondent was solely at fault, and this whether the tow was hanging from Pier 1 straight down the river, as he found, or was swung in by the freshet current toward Pier A, as the respondent contended. It was not in a slip in either case but in waters which the fire boat had a right to use.
Decree affirmed, with interest and costs.
