District Court, D. Connecticut March 25, 1908, No. 1,428 (The Park City)

PLATT, District Judge.

From the beginning this case has been peculiar, and for that reason an interesting one. At the hearing on the merits it appeared that just before the collision the Park City had slowed down so much that she barely hit the dredge. This fact is confirmed by the commissioner’s finding. She did hit her, however, and 1 found her in fault for doing so.
