Case No. 659.
    The AURORA. CURRY v. The AURORA
    Superior Court, S. D. Florida.
    Nov. 28, 1840.
    Salvage—Compensation—Forfeiture.
    . [Cited in Marv. Wr. & Salv. 232, as having held that where wreckers had unnecessarily lightened the bark of 205 bales of cotton, in order to magnify their services and obtain a larger salvage than that to which they were justly entitled, their whole salvage should be forfeited, notwithstanding they had rendered important services.]
    [Note. Nowhere reported; opinion by MARVIN, J., not now accessible.]
