An important decision in relation to
and tug boats not being liable as com
non carriers for damages TO vessels or
heir cargoes, which they may have in
was rendered a few days since in the
STATES Circuit Court, at New Or
cans. In May, lS05, the tug Neafie, in
anding a hay barge, eOlIided il with an
'ther HAT, sinking the hay boat. The
'Wners Of the fat sued for $3.50, the value
u the boat and contents. The evidence
ihowed th2t due care was exercised bv
he twoboat, and the fiat, which was in a
peak leaky condition, was suddenly
Drown against the other fat by a boil or
l~ndercurrent. The decision rendered,
vas, that the Nsafie was not liable for
he damage, because the tug was not a
carrier; only furnishing the
motive power, and not undertaking to
transport the goods found on the water
raft, which d took in TOW. The Judge
tated that the case was like the owner Of /.
wagon laden with merchandise hiring q
nan TO hitch his horses to the wagon to

Wner OF the wagon riding IN il and hay !
ng charge Of the goods. In such a case
ould it be claimed, with any show OF (
easOn, that the owner OF the team was a
carrier. A contrary doctrine I
