Case No. 6,356.
HENDRICKSON v. The GESNER.
[N. Y. Times, Dec. 6, 1856.]
District Court, S. D. New York.
Dec. 4, 1856.
Maritime Liens — Domestic Vessels.
[No lien arises under the maritime law for supplies furnished a vessel in the state in which she is owned.]
This was a libel filed to recover the value of sails furnished to the sloop. The libelant is a resident of New-York, and the work was done there, but the sails were furnished to the sloop while she was in New-Jersey, where she was owned.

Opinion:
HELD BY THE COURT
(INGERSOLL, District Judge):
That the sloop was domestic to the state of New-Jersey, where the sails were furnished, and there was therefore no lien created in favor of the libelant by the maritime law, whatever claim the libel-ant might have against the owner of the sloop, and as it has not been made to appear that any lien was created by the local law •of New-Jersey, libel dismissed with costs.
