163 F.2d 825 | 9th Cir. | 1947
The questions here argued concern solely the sufficiency of the evidence to support the district court’s findings (a) that appel-lee was injured by the negligence of the appellant ; (b) that the appellee was not negligent in a manner contributing to the injury; and (c) that the injury to appellee was of the amount awarded.
This is an admiralty appeal in which the witnesses giving the major portion of the relevant testimony were heard by the court below. Appellant properly concedes that its burden is to show such insufficiency of that testimony.
We are of the opinion that there was such sufficiency to support the findings.
The decree is affirmed with costs,
