INDEX-DIGEST
DECISIONS
HON. ADDISON BROWN, LL.D.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
FOE THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
1881 to lOOl
Eepokted mostly
IN THE FEDERAL EEPORTER

PREFACE..
These notes of my decisions, brief and irregular in form, were originally pre-
pared, up to Vol. 62 of the Federal Reporteb, for my own convenience only, as an
aid in recalling or speedily referring to the circumstances of cases previously
before me, and the points ruled or considered in them. The notes were generally
made soon after the decisions were rendered, and were from time to time printed
in pamphlet form to accompany bound excerpts of my opinions taken from the
Federal Reporter. Six of such pamphlets were printed down to Vol. 62, after
which I was unable to continue them. Copies were also sent as printed to the
chief practitioners in Admiralty in the Southern District, and being found con-
venient in practice, they were subsequently called for beyond what could be sup-
plied from the few copies printed of the earlier numbers. In accordance with
many requests since I left the bench, I have continued the Index to Sept. 3, 1901,
the date of my retirement, and included all reported up to this time.
To supply those who have not the previous numbers, as well as for greater
convenience, the six former parts have been consolidated and re-printed with the
continuation, without change in form other than bringing under one head all the
notes on the same subject, and without the labor of re-writing in a more orderly
and condensed form, which I trust will be excused in a compilation supplied for
private use only. About one-fourth of the opinicms, mostly of minor importance,
are not reported. A few of these, perhaps of some interest, have been here in-
cluded and referred to by their file numbers. The lists of appeals, with the signs
indicating the disposition of them, will also be found serviceable. The sign t is
used when the decision on appeal allows some recovery, though less, or more,
or different, than that adjudged below. The signs are carried through the body
of the Index; but the marks, whether of afSrmance or reversal, do not always
signify that the point to which the case is cited, was either aflSrmed or reversed.
Hoping that the Index may be of some convenience, I take pleasure in pre-
senting it to the members of the Admiralty bar and others as a mark, though small,
of my very great obligations to them in pursuit of our common work; and
especially because it is to their industry, thoroughness, and enthusiastic devotion
to legal learning and the pursuit of the immutable principles of equity and
justice, that these decisions, notwithstanding their defects and errors, are largely
indebted for whatever acceptance they may have received.
Nor can I fail to acknowledge my very deep appreciation of the unfailing
courtesy, kindness and consideration that from the moment of my entrance into
office on Jime 18, 1881, have made our intercourae one of unbroken harmony, cor-
diality and pleasure.

BANKRUPTCY. Act of 1898.
The Statute is designed for a pro rata distribution of assets, the prevention
of preferences and the discharge of the honest debtor. Its construction should
have reference to those objects. It avoids frauds and preferences, supersedes
State insolvent laws, and authorizes such u, stay of proceedings in other courts
as is necessary to enable a trustee or receiver in bankruptcy to intervene and
secure the assets for the equal benefit of the creditors. *Gutwillig, 90, 475;

Not Exempted. — Sect. 3 requires, as a condition of any exemption, that the
owners and their agents shall have used due diligence, in fact, to make the ship
seaworthy, i. e., fit for her cargo and the voyage on sailing; for negligence in
this regard, ship held; *Peters, G8, 919; Plamborough, 69, 470; Colima, 82,
665; Bohannon, 64, 883; Manitoba, 104, 145. Damages arising from any dis-
coverable or avoidable defects in the ship or her condition, are not within § 3;
hence the duty of complete inspection and to apply the best tests of sufficiency;

104, 145. See Farr, 181 U. S. 218.
Sections 1 and 2 forbid contract exemptions from liability for negligent stow-

the trim of the ship; *Knott, 76, 582; to all bad loading, and to overcarriage

By diminishing a salvor's liability to cargo for deviation in undertaking
a salvage service, the Act justifies smaller salvage awards in such cases; *Flor-
ence, 65, 248. By relieving owner from liability for a negligent stranding, it
entitles him to general average for his expenses for the common rescue; fChrystal

REMOVAL OP PRISONER. See Criminal Law.
To remove under an indictment, it must show a crime triable where it was
found; lottery letters; offense in two jurisdictions; *Horner, 44, 677.
Procedure under Sec. 1014 R. S. must be according to State practice; in
New York, defendant may always show want of " probable oausp " by evidence
in his own behalf; and hence similarly under §1014. An indictment containing
contradictory or incompatible statements and only general charges of fraud, with-
out any specifications, is insufficient as an affidavit Avhen denied, to show probable
cause; Court cannot overrule the Commissioner's finding if there was reasonable
evidence to sustain it; validity of indictment, as dependent upon the proper em-
paneling of the Grand Jury, referred to the trial Court; *Greene & Gaynor, 108,
