MEMORANDA.
Tug South Baltimore was libeled to-
day, which action was brought about
by her towing a barge belonging to
John Rooney, of Baltimore. Ut seems
that the tug towed said barge to New
port N5ws and on her arrival there
the tide was low and the barge could
not get TO her discharg!nG berth. The
tug left the barge. y storm came up
and the barge went ashore on the beach
and filed up with water, and sustained
other damages, for which the owner
claimed damages.
