Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit May 1, 1900, No. 330 (The Indrani)

SIMONTON, Circuit Judge

(after stating the facts). What was the proximate cause of this accident, — the negligence of the respondent or of the* libelant? His honor, the district judge, found that there was negligence on the part of the libelant, and so he reduced the award of damages. As there has been no exception to this finding, it can be safely assumed that this fact has been established.
