    [15 Blatchf. 183.] 
    
    Circuit Court, S. D. New York.

       [Affirming Case No. 4,463.]
    
   WAITE, Circuit Justice.

The decree of the district court was right. The action was brought to recover for the breach of a contract of affreightment, and not for a marine tort. The well-considered opinion of the district judge, in which T fully concur, makes it unnecessary for me to attempt to add to what he has so well said.
