minds US that great steamers ca

not pass through the Eads Jetties.

be built from New Orleans to the

at the South Pass are completed to
their requi, ed depth, and ten thou

Salvage Case of Evansville and
Cairo Packet Company W.. Tug
81. Mary and Bargea.

-
Salvage Case OF Evansville and
Cairo Packet Company vs.. tug
~. mary and Barges.
The steamer Arkansas Belle fled a
libel in the courts two or three years ago
against a barge Of lumber for salvage.
The owners Of the barge answered, put.
ting the value Of the barge and lumber
at $4,000. Subsequently defendant filed
q cross libel against the Arkansas Belle,
claiming damages for the loss Of the barge
and lumber, or injury thereto, because of
the improper interference Of the Arkau-
sas Belle. The United States district
judge, upon trial before him, dismissed
both bills, but upon appeal by cost libel
lants, the original defendant, to the
United States Circuit Court, this de-
cree OF the United States District Court
was reversed and the defendants allowed
to recover whatever damages they could
show they lad sustained, and the same
was referred to the clerk Of the United
States Court for a report as to the
amount Of damages sustained by the de-
PENDANTS by the improper seizure made
by the Arkansas Belle. Notwithstanding
the estimated value Of the barge set up BY
the defendants 10 their p%leadings was
only $500, and it appeared in proof was
not a total loss, but was only damaged,
and although the estimated damage to
the lumber in said barge, set up by de
PENDANTS in their cross libel, was only
$500, and it appeared in proof that they
had sold 5000 worth of the lumber, the
clerk made a report allowing $500 as
damages and interest. The court gave a
decree for only $3.50 as the amouut of
damages actually sustained. This makes
a difference of S405O between the two
amounts, The attorney who brought the
original libel was o, P. Lyles, for the
Arkansas Belle, Judge T. W. Brown be.
log subsequently called in as advisor.
Messrs. Pierce & Dix represented the
defendants.
Judge Pierce asked permission of the
colrt to show grounds upon which the
report vas based, but further hearing
was objected to. 1t appears that the
report Of the clerk was based upon the
previous ruling Of Judge Enmons in the
case.
