District Court, D. Massachusetts June 6, 1930, No. 159 (The William A. McKenney)

BREWSTER, District Judge.

This is a petition for limitation of liability, brought by the owners of the steamship William A. MeKenney. The vessel and freight have been appraised for the sum of $163,500, which is so near the gross amount claimed by the intervening claimants that the limitation of liability becomes a matter of little importance.
