WILLIAM BARROW, Esq. [Commander.]
Son of John Barrow, Esq. second secretary of the Admiralty, LL.D. and F.R.S.
This officer was made lieutenant into the Blonde frigate. Captain Edmund Lyons, on the Mediterranean station, Oct. 28th, 1829. The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman belonging to that ship, dated Constantinople, Jan. 25th, 1830:
“On Friday last, the Blonde was honored vAth the company at dinner of the Capitan Bey, second in command of the Turkish navy, Reale Bey, a rear-admiral, and Leman Reis Bey, the naval commissioner, with Captain Kelly, an Englishman, the commander of the steam navigation; but unfortunately the harmony of the evening was suddenly interrupted by the breaking out of a fire on the Galata side of Constantinople, which soon assumed a most alarming appearance. the flames spread like wild-fire; and having taken a direction in the line of the custom-house, it was deemed advisable, as well for the safety of the town as that of the shipping, to send a large force from the Blonde, to assist in arresting the progress of that destructive element. Consequently Lieutenant Burrow, Mr. Turton, the master. Lieutenant Hayes of the marines, and one hundred seamen, with a division of marines, landed, and their prompt conduct excited great admiration. Finding they could make little progress in arresting the fury of the flames by the engines, they turned to and tore down, by main force, a range of houses which lay betwixt the custom-house and the direction which the fire had taken; and thus, by sacrificing eight or ten houses, they saved the extensive towns of Tophana, Galata, and Pera, perhaps the Turkish navy, and the thousands of merchant ships of all nations that are lying along the Galata and Pera wharfs; for had the fire once reached the custom-house, where there are numerous stores of combustible materials, it would have been impossible to prevent its communicating to the merchant shipping; and these breaking loose, would soon have drifted amongst the Turkish ships of war, and thus have fired the dock-yard, the city of Constantinople, and perhaps the Seraglio: owing, however, to the exertions of our people, the fire was got under by eleven o’clock at night. About forty houses have been consumed. It is but right to observe that the Capitan Bey took an active part in extinguishing the flames, and seemed to vie with our officers in braving the fury of the element. Captain Kelly was also very conspicuous on this occasion, and rendered himself particularly useful in assisting our people to tumble down the houses. For this very important service, the ship’s company of the Blonde has had the honor of ​receiving the unqualified thanks of the Turks, as well as the Franks of this place. The French Ambassador’s lady. Countess Guilleminot, in speaking of it, compares the English sailors to Angels, and their actions to every thing bordering on the miraculous.”
Lieutenant Barrow was advanced to the rank of commander May 9th, 1832; and appointed to the Rose sloop, fitting out for the East India station, June 2d, 1834. He sailed from Portsmouth on the 17th Aug. following.

# Randall v. Board of Commissioners of Tippecanoe County/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
261 U.S. 252
Randall v. Board of Commissioners of Tippecanoe County
Argued: Jan. 25, 1923. --- Decided: Feb 19, 1923
This is a writ of error to the Supreme Court of Indiana, when, clearly, it should have been to the state Appellate Court.
The action was brought in the superior court for Tippecanoe county. A demurrer to the complaint was sustained. An appeal was allowed to the Supreme Court, but that court, of its own motion, entered an order transferring the cause to the Appellate Court, for want of jurisdiction. The Appellate Court thereupon took the case, received the briefs of counsel, heard oral arguments and affirmed the judgment of the trial court. A petition for rehearing was submitted and denied. Plaintiffs in error then applied to the Supreme Court for an order to vacate its former order of transfer, or, in the alternative, for a writ of error coram nobis, which the Supreme Court denied.
It therefore appears that the Supreme Court refused to take the case on appeal for want of jurisdiction, and the judgment of the highest court of the state in which a decision in the suit could be had, Judicial Code, § 237 (Comp. St. § 1214), is that of the Appellate Court to which the writ should have been directed.
The writ of error must, therefore, be dismissed on the authority of Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Hughes, 203 U.S. 505, 27 Sup. Ct. 162, 51 L. Ed. 294; Lane v. Wallace, 131 U.S. Appendix, ccxix, 26 L. Ed. 703; Norfolk & Suburban Turnpike Co. v. Commonwealth of Virginia, 225 U.S. 264, 269, 32 Sup. Ct. 828, 56 L. Ed. 1082; Second National Bank v.

Dismissed.

PERCY FRASER, Esq Late a Commissioner of the Navy Board. [Superannuated Rear-Admiral.]
This officer was a Lieutenant in 1789; commanded the Savage sloop of war, in 1791; the Moselle, in 1794; and obtained post rank March 27, 1795. In the following year we find him commanding the Narcissus of 20 guns, on the coast of America; from whence he proceeded to the West Indies, where his ship was wrecked, but fortunately her crew escaped. His next appointment was to la Nymphe, in which frigate he captured la Modeste, a French letter of marque, laden with East India produce, and several other vessels. After commanding la Nymphe about four years, he removed into the Narcissus of 36 guns, and continued in that ship during the remainder of the war. We subsequently find him in the Vanguard 74.
In 1808, Captain Fraser was appointed resident Commissioner of the Dock-yard at Malta; from whence he removed to Gibraltar, about the summer of 1811. Towards the latter end of 1813, he obtained a seat at the Navy Board, from which he retired with the superannuation of a Rear-Admiral, June 12, 1823. He married, Sept. 26, 1797, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of John, 5th Vise. Torrington, and sister of the present peer.

A son of the late Rev. Roger Frankland, rector of Yarlington, and vicar of Dulverton, both in Somersetshire, a canon-residentiary of the cathedral church of St. Andrew, Wells, by Catherine, sister to Vice-Admiral Lord Colville.
This officer is a native of Bath. He became a student at the Royal Naval College towards the close of 1810; quitted that institution in the autumn of 1812; and first went to sea in 1813, as midshipman on board the Aquilon 32, commanded by his cousin, Captain William Bowles, with whom he returned home from South America, in la Ceres frigate, June 1814. He subsequently served under Captain (now Sir Willoughby T.) Lake, in the Magnificent 74, on the Jamaica station. In May 1816, he again sailed for Brazil and Rio de la Plata, in the Amphion frigate, Commodore Bowles, by whom he was made lieutenant into the Andromache 44, Captain William H. Shirreff, in July 1818. This appointment, however, was not confirmed at home until Mar. 26th, 1819; at which period he held the confidential situation of private secretary to his captain, then senior officer in the Pacific.
in April 1819, Lieutenant Frankland crossed the Andes and Pampas mountains, as the bearer of despatches to the Admiralty; and it is a remarkable circumstance, that, in Nov. and Dec. of the same year, he also crossed the Alps and Appennines. He remained on the European continent until April 1821, making the tour of France, Italy, and Switzerland; went to Ireland, as flag-lieutenant to his uncle. Lord Colville, in the month of Nov. following; obtained his present rank on the 26th April, 1825; and shortly afterwards, finding himself again an idle man, once more proceeded on his travels, making the tour of Holland, Belgium, the Rhine, Wirtemburg, Bavaria, the Danube, Tyrol, and Austria. In 1827, he made a journey from Vienna, through Hungary, Transylvania, Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Roumelia, to Constantinople; proceeded thence, through the Dardanelles, to the plains of Troy, Smyrna, Greece, Cyprus, Syria, ​Palestine, Alexandria, Malta, and Sicily; and returned to the Austrian capital through Italy, Istria, Carniola, and Styria. He has since published a personal narrative of this interesting journey, with many sketches.
Some account of Commander C. C. Frankland’s family will be found in p. 48.

Schott v. Hudson
The facts in this case differ from those in Leroux v. Hudson, herewith decided, [ante, 309,] as set forth in the opinion in that case, only in the following immaterial respects: The goods seized were in the hands of Max Schott, in his store at East Saginaw, Saginaw county, Michigan, and had been transferred to him by the debtors. The marshal, Matthews, assisted by John E. Wells, a deputy, seized them on March 29, 1878. Max Schott, on the sixth of April, commenced an action of trespass in the circuit court for Saginaw county, Michigan, against Matthews and Wells, to recover $25,000 damages for the acts of the defendants in breaking and entering the store at East Saginaw, and taking therefrom and carrying away goods of the plaintiffs of the value of $20,000, and converting the same to their own use, and preventing the plaintiffs from carrying on their lawful business in the store. After the defendants in the trespass suit had appeared therein by attorney and demanded a trial, and given the like notice of defense as was given in the suit for trespass brought by J. Leroux & Co., nothing further was done in the suit. In October, 1878, Hudson, (the assignee,) Matthews, (the marshal,) and Wells filed a bill in equity in the circuit court of the United States for the eastern disirict of Michigan against Max Schott, making the like allegations, mutatis mutandis, as to the goods taken from Max Schott, as were made in the bill filed by J. Leroux & Co. in regard to the goods taken from them, and containing a like prayer for relief and for an injunction. Like proceedings took place, except that a demurrer was embodied in the answer instead of being filed separately. The answer was of a like character, the proofs and protest were identical, and a like decree was entered, from which the defendant appealed.
The decree of the circuit court is reversed, and the cause is remanded to that court, with direction to dismiss the bill.
The same questions are involved as in Leroux v. Hudson, the facts are substantially the same, and the same conclusions are reached. The decree of the circuit court is reversed, and the cause is remanded to that court, with direction to dismiss the bill.

Schoonmaker v. Gilmore
MOTION to dismiss a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania, to which is united a motion to affirm.
This was an action on the case, brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, by Gilmore against Schoonmaker & Brown, owners of the steam-tug 'Jos. Bigley.' The declaration avers in substance that, by reason of the negligence of the defendants, the tug, when descending the Ohio River, a few miles below Pittsburgh, collided with and damaged certain barges belonging to the plaintiff.
The point was made by the defendants that the courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction in cases of collision on navigable waters.
There was a judgment for the plaintiff, on the affirmance of which by the Supreme Court the defendants sued out this writ.
Mr. Alexander M. Watson in support of the motions.
Mr. Hill Burgwin, contra.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the court.

# Schoonmaker v. Gilmore/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
102 U.S. 118
Schoonmaker v. Gilmore
The single question in this case is, whether the courts of the United States, as courts of admiralty, have exclusive jurisdiction of suits in personam, growing out of collisions between vessels while navigating the Ohio River. This is a Federal question, and gives us jurisdiction; but we cannot consider it as any longer open to argument, as it was decided substantially in The Moses Taylor, 4 Wall. 411; The Hine v. Trevor, id. 555; The Belfast, 7 id. 624; Leon v. Galceran, 11 id. 185; and Steamboat Company v. Chase, 16 id. 522. The Judiciary Act of 1789 (1 Stat. 73, sect. 9), reproduced in sect. 563, Rev. Stat., par. 8, which confers admiralty jurisdiction on the courts of the United States, expressly saves to suitors, in all cases, the right of a common-law remedy, where the common law is competent to give it. That there always has been a remedy at common law for damages by collision at sea cannot be denied.
The motion to dismiss is overruled, and that to affirm granted.
Judgment affirmed.
NOTE.-Brown v. Davidson, error to the Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania, involved the same question as the preceding case. It was submitted by the same counsel and determined in the same manner.
