<p>Shipping (§§ 132, 141*) — Damage to Oabgo — Evidence—Limiting Ltabtt.itt.</p> <p>Held, that the damage occurred from the unseaworthiness of the carrying barge and not from a collision that she was subjected to through the rough condition of the water. Also held that the owner was not entitled to limit its liability, as the unseaworthiness, was due to a negligent examination of the vessel.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Shipping, Cent. Dig. § 493; Dec. Dig. §§ 132, 141.*]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
