United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. American-Hawaiian Steamship Co.
280 F. 1023; 1922 U.S. App. LEXIS 1913
United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. American-Hawaiian Steamship Co.
Opinion of the Court
The sole question in this appeal is whether American Fuel & Shipping Company actually chartered from the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company the steamship America. The contention of the former is that the transaction set out in the evidence amounted to only a general agreement for a charter, not to be binding until a formal charter was executed. The evidence was conflicting, but it affords abundant support for the finding of the District Judge that a charter was made. We can add nothing of value to the adequate and satisfactory discussion contained in the opinion of the District Judge. Affirmed.
