    Amos Van Etten, for the motion.

    Before WALLACE and LACOMBE, Circuit Judges, and TOWNSEND, District Judge.
   PRR CURIAM.-

Motion denied. To grant it would impose too great a burden on libelant. The unfortunate situation of the appellant is mainly due to the want of diligence in taking proper measures to secure an adequate transcript of the record, the defects of which were called to the attention of counsel, and should have been discovered in April, 1901, if not earlier.
