Switzerland Marine Insurance v. Flamborough

69 F. 470 | S.D.N.Y. | 1895

BROWN, District Judge.

The condition of the vessel, 27 years old, is proved by Mr. Congdon’s examination to have been so worn in her plates and unserviceable that Í find the inspection theretofore made could not bo such as “due diligence” under the “Harter Act” requires. 27 Stat. 4-id.

I also find the owners chargeable in this respect with any negligence of their agents appointed to inspect.

Decree for libelants, with costs.
