McFadden v. The Illinois
McFadden v. The Illinois
16 F. Cas. 84
Opinion of the Court
We are inclined to agree with the court below that the proofs are as strong, if not stronger, that the injury to the tow happened through the neglect of the master of the barge in not attending to his helm in season, as to any improper management of the tug. We think there was nothing in that necessarily leading to the collision if the master of the tow had ported his helm in time. Decree of the court below affirmed.
