John Bailey and another v. Henry G. Heartt.
    Appeal from the District Court of the First District, Buchanan, J.
    
    
      Perin, for the plaintiffs.
    
      C. M. Jones, for the appellant.
   Martin, J.

The plaintiffs claim $1008 for the hire and use of certain blocks, &c., furnished to the defendant for raising the steamer Cuba, according to an account annexed to the petition. The defendant pleaded the general issue; and farther, that the plaintiffs libelled the brig Damon, for the hire of the same, or like materials, claiming only $125, and were nonsuited.

Several witnesses were examined, and from their testimony the court concluded that the plaintiffs were entitled to $125 for the use of the blocks, &c., &c.; and for necessary repairs, to $115, $4 50, and $10, in all $254 50 for which judgment was given. We are unable to see on what grounds we can interfere with it, or allow damages for the appeal.

Judgment affirmed.
