MUST PAY FOR REPAIRS.
IMPORTANT DECISION HANDED
DOWN BY JUDGE BRADFORD IN
THE STEAMER ELLA CASE.

DOWN BY JUDGE BRADFORD IN
THE STEAMER ELLA CASE.
Judge Bradford, in the United States
Court yesterday afternoon, handed
down an elaborate opinion covering
forty-five pages, in the case of the
Neafie and Levy Company VS.. the
steamer Ella, his decree being in favor
Of the Neafie and Levy Company for
the full amount claimed by them,
which was 81, 1881, with interest from
May 80, 1896 The claim was for re-
pairs made to the vessel by the plain
tiff company in 1896.
The question of law involved in the
case was as to whether the claim was
q maritime lien upon the boat and
whether it was furnished upon the
credit of the steamer or upon the
credit of the Smyrna Transportation
Company, the owners OF the vessel.
Judge Bradford, in his opinion, held
that the repairs were furnished to the
steamer in foreign port, and that the
evidence in the case established the
fact that it was the understanding with
the owners of the vessel and the
Neafie and Levy Company that the re-
pairs were made upon the credit of the
steamer. The steamer Ella plyed be-
tween Smyrna and Philadelphia, and
was sold last year by the United States
marshal for $4,000. About $500 still
remains in the registry of the court.
The whole Of this amount was held by
]. II. Hoffecker, who held a bill of sale
against the steamer and claimed it as
the owner.
The Neafe and Levy Company was
represented by Levi c. Bird and An
drew c. SanbOrn, and Mr.. Holfecker by
l.. c. Vandegrift.
The point involved in the case is one
of great interest to ship men, as il is
the first case having as the cause for
the suit the repairing of a vessel in a
foreign port, that has been decided fol
some time. There was a mutual agree
ment between the plaintiff company
and the owners regarding the repairs
to the vessel, and Judge Bradford helC
that such an agreement held good.
