District Court, D. Connecticut May 15, 1859 (Southworth v. The A. E. Douglass)

INGERSOLL. District Judge.

The question in this case is, do the libellants own the »/32 parts of the schooner A. E. Douglass which formerly belonged to one Albert Gaines? If they do, they are the major owners of the vessel, and the decree must be in their favor. If they do not, they are not the major owners of the vessel, and the decree must be against them.
