New York, O. & W. RY. CO. v. Cornell Steamboat Co.

193 F. 380 | 2d Cir. | 1911

PER CURIAM.

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.
