IPS ARE NOT HELD LIABLE For Accidents to a Fellow Workman on Board Vessel * \ - AN IMPORTANT DECISION No Fault of Vessels When Men Who are Only Employes of Charters of Vessels are Killed or Injured. Judge Emory' Speer has rendered a decision in the admiralty case of Nan ey Williams, colored, against the Eng lish steamship Loglands, that is of considerable import to ship intersts as well as stevedres. The point decided is a lew one. it is that neither the ship, nor the ves sel's owners is liable for any injury suffered by a person, not a servant of the vessel. Till at is that the ship is not liable to the stevedores for neg ligence on he part of fellow labo - ers or any one else engaged in the work that caused the injury. The ruling was filed in the office of the clerk of the federal cqurt in Sav annah Tuesday. It is in the suit of Nancy Williams, of that, city, for the death of her husband. Leander W'ill '•’’u.s. Tide petition was filed last .‘-.im-nilier and SIO,OOO was the amount sought to be recovered. The petitiou charged that Williams lost ills life through the negligent dropping of a beam in one of the discharge holds in which Williams was at work. The case was argued before Judge Speer, the defense, contending that tlberc was :io liability resting upon the ship for the fatality. It was suggested by counsel, and the court gave leave, that an amendment bo filed directing the suit against tlie owners of the ship, instead of the ship itself. Mr. Lcaken representing the ship owners, took the .position that suo’i an amend ment; was not good in law and cited his authorities, Illie ease was consid ered on this point and the decision of Judge Speer is that the proposed amendment lie denied, and the origi nal libel be dismissed . This ruling settles two important points in this jurisdiction, that I boro can be no recovery for any man who is killed on a vessel who is not an employe ol the vessel; that, the ship is not liable to the stevedores for au.v negligence on the part of fellow em ployes, such as was the case in this instance. Williams was nn employe of Iho stevedores, and was In Hie hold of the vessel. A fellow employe stood on the main hatch and signaled to the “donkey” engineer when to lift and lower the freight. It was claimed by Williams’ representatives tlhat the winchman failed to do his duty. The declaration of the petitioner showed that the stevedores were simply em ployes of the characters of the vnq-. sei and not employed by the ship-. The principal point is that, the death of a fellow workmen Is not charge able to trie employer Inis prevailed, and in admiralty it is a decision that a suit in rent cannot be amended and made a suit against the owners per sonally.
