Shamrock Towing Co. v. Manufacturers' & Merchants' Lighterage Co.

262 F. 844 | E.D.N.Y | 1918

CHATFIELD, District Judge.

The purpose of choosing this district was to obtain security. While concurrent jurisdiction exists between the districts, this does not give the right to obtain security in the district where personal service could be had. The possibility of levying upon the vessel does not give the right so to do. Hence it is not abuse of process to go into an adjoining district any more than it would be to go to a more remote district.

Motion denied.
