ADMIRALTY.
KENDALL v. JOHN MASON & CO. (THE CAROLINE A. WHITE.)
Libel in personam on a charter party. Plea to the jurisdiction overruled.
Libel on contract of affreightment.
J. Hill Martin, for libellant.
Benjamin Gerhard, for respondent.

Opinion:
CADWALADER, J.
This is a plea to the jurisdiction of the court on an action in personam on a charter party of affreightment.
The Supreme Court of the United States has lately decided the question in favor of the jurisdiction of admiralty over actions in personam, in contracts of affreightment, in the case of Morewood v. Enequist, 23 Howard, 493. I overrule the plea.
