U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit · Decided June 20, 1917 · Buffington, McPherson, Woolley

244 F. 149; 156 C.C.A. 577; 1917 U.S. App. LEXIS 2007

Counsel

Howard M. Long, of Philadelphia, Pa., for the Fanny C. Bowen., Lewis, Adler & Laws and John F. Lewis, all of Philadelphia, Pa., for the Columbia., Willard M. Harris, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Park & Mattison, of New York City, for the Atkins Hughes.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

It must be admitted that one rather perplexing circumstance in this case is the apparent lack of material injury to the schooner; but this cannot be allowed to outweigh the strong and positive testimony that she, and she alone, is the vessel that did the damage. We see no reason to add anything to Judge Thomson’s satisfactory opinion, and therefore adopt it as our own.

The decree is affirmed.
