Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Interlocutory order.</p> <p>An order sustaining in part exceptions to an auditor’s report, and referring the matter back to the auditor, is an interlocutory and not a final order.</p> <p>Ships and shipping — Enrollment—Mortgage—Corporation.</p> <p>A corporation may enroll a ship which it owns in a port in which it transacts its business, although such port is not the home port of the corporation, and a mortgage on the ship enrolled in the same port in which the ship is enrolled, will give a valid lien upon the ship.</p> <p>Receivers — Compensation— Counsel fees — Steamships.</p> <p>Where receivers of a steamship company sell vessels of the company upon which maritime liens have been fixed prior to the receivership, they cannot diminish the fund due to the owners of such liens by retaining an allowance for receivers’ commissions and counsel fees. For such allowances they must look to the other property of the company.</p> <p>Maritime liens — Supplies and repairs — Credit of owner — Contract.</p> <p>A maritime lien for repairs and supplies to a vessel cannot be acquired where it appears that the repairs and supplies were furnished upon the credit of the owners, and not of the vessel.</p>
