interesting Admiralty Cssein n United
states Court.
Judre Pa-Jee tried on Thursday. in the
United states Circuit Cont, the admiralty
case OF Margaret McGinty, hbellSnt. rs.
the British steamship Gladiolus. The
case was briefly as follows: james Nc
Ginty. "a lOugsh0Teman, was engaged in
loading the Gladiolus In september, lSS.
He went into a part Of the ship in which
coal was generally stored, but which was
on this occasion 70 be used for carrying
cotton. IL Is supposed that be went in
there 10 ind duuDage for the cargo. There
was an open hstchway. through which
HcGintT fell. and received injuries which
resulted In his death. The widow Of the
deceased sued for $1,000 damages.
How the man zane 10 tall into the
hatchway. whether he had the right 10 20
where be did. and whether the ship was
responsible for the hatchway being lett
uncovered. are questions which were in
dispute. and which. with other ques-
tons. were argued before Judge Pariee.
Nessr. Garrard & Meldrim. Richards &
Howard and j. X. Saussy appeared for
Mrs.. NcGinty. MeSsrs. Chisholm & Erwin
and A. Minis, Jr.. represented the steam
shin. Judge Paniee rendered an oral
opinion Yesterday morning, deciding IN
effect that the master and crew were not
in any wise 70 blame for the accident and
dismissing the libel at libellaut's cost.
The decree has not yet been entered IN the
case. as the Gbellant's prOctors asked
further time in which 70 present 70 the
court certain findings Of fact which they
wished 70 put in the decree.
This ease was tried in the District
Court last June before Judge
Locke, who reached the same conclu-
sions arrived at BY Judge
Pardee. and dismissed the libel. Judge
LOcke's decree vas appealed from, and IN
this way the a came before Judge Par
