Judge Nelson, on Saturday, decided an appeal
In Admiralty, the being The Parker Mills agt Tho
Steamer Bridgeport Warren NJ. Christie ct al ag The
Same The Court below had ordered decree in favor OF
the Hbeants Judge Nelson decides follows: The
collision occurred between the schooner and steamer
Sept H. 1884 between and O'Clock m the channel
which separates Blackwells Island from the New-Nork
shore the head u the Island Tie schooner was on
her srbOad tack her way to the York shore and
had Just out tie tack, ana had commenced preparing
for tins other tack toward Hell Gate when TIE colislon
took place. There is dispute about the facts nor any
question bat that both vessels had seen each other when
two or three miles apart both passing through the chan
mel the schooner Ia advance beating through against the
wind, and the steamer coming up under headway 81
about eight knots the hour with tine HOOD TIDE.
The only controversy is, whether under the cir
cumstanoes existing az the time, the schooner
should keep out OF the way OF the steamer OF the reverse
The steamer insists that she entitled 10 come up
along the NewYOrk shore aud that the schooner should
have tackled before running out her course and thus
have provided free way for the steamer. This the
schooner would not do The channel Is nearly half mile
wide, aud IL Is clear that the steamer could nave Ionno
to account FOR the neglect OF the master To take this
eonrse; Keep gu e so hI az w hItIe 81 was The
duty OF the schooner 10 stop aud tack without runnnp
out her c0rse leaving for the steamer 20 pass up the
NewYOrk shore. We think the schooner was right IA
running out her cOuee for II she had omitted TO do go
aud accident had happened OH this aceount she mlght
have been responsible Tor It, The master OF the steamer
should have assumed that the schooner would fulfil her
dirty In this respect and nave nayigated ms yesse s
