Case and Comment. The decision
holds that a steamship company which

to port and deliver II to those entitled
to Its possession for burial, and is H.
able In damages In case II buries the
body at sea. The court said:
AT the time OF the burial at sea the
body could have been carried to port
without Injurious effect. Had the
steamship been passing through the
harbor Of New York and approaching
lts dock. 1t could scarcely be said t,at
the defendant would be justified In
