Each vessel claimed | damages against the other and the action was tried at Napanee with W. 8. Herrington, K.C., and John Eng- lish, of Napanee, acting for the | plaintifi, and H.' A. Burbidge, of Hamilion, acting for the defendant. I'he trial judge, Sir John A. Boyd, chancellor of Ontario, found both vessels in fault and dismissed both claim and counter-claim. Francis King was consulted and advised acceptance of the findings of fact, but also advised an appeal ngainst the decision on the ' ground that when both vessels are in fault, even if the action is brought as this was in the supreme court of Ontario, instead of in admiralty, the damages should be equally divided. This ap- peal was taken and the defendant en- tered a cross appeal claiming that the supreme court had no jurisdic- tion. The appeals resulted as above stated, successfully for the plaintiff, and as the schooner suffered much more substantial damage and was raised at considerable expense, the division of the loss will result in a substantial balance in her favor.
