The Syracuse
THIS was an appeal in admiralty from the decree of the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, which, on a libel filed by the owners of the steamer Rip Van Winkle, against the steam tow-boat Syracuse, for a collision, had held the complaining boat itself in fault, and the tug-boat not liable.
Messrs McMahon and Hoar, for the appellant; Mr. Benedict, contra.
Mr. Justice SWAYNE stated the facts and delivered the opinion of the court.
