18 F. Cas. 1296
Patlen v. The Illinois

Opinion of the Court

NELSON, Circuit Justice.

The question whether the injury to the tow was occasioned by the improper navigation of the tug was one of fact upon the proofs, and we cannot say that the conclusion arrived at by the court below is not fairly sustained, or that the tug was in fault. The injury seems to have happened from dangers incident to the navigation of a tow by a hawser.-

Decree affirmed.
